The signed pieces in the auction drew steady interest. The Bucherer bracelet and necklace suite, crafted in a braided woven design with the maker's mark CB^[4], was presented in its original maker's case. Another notable signed lot was the De Grisogono emerald-set 'Boule' watch pendant/necklace, which featured circular-cut emeralds and brilliant-cut diamonds^[5], though the auction house noted that the interior watch component was not running at the time of cataloguing and required a new battery.
