Elton John Brooch Unsold at London Auction
Published September 26th, 2008
The brooch was a highlight of Bonhams’ Sale of Fine Jewellery in London on September 25.
The art deco sapphire and diamond clip brooch, made in around 1935, had been expected to auction for between £12,000 and £15,000.
Designed in the form of the letter J, it includes multiple old brilliant-cut and baguette-cut diamonds, five oval-cut sapphires and a bombe cluster of circular-cut sapphires.
A photograph accompanying the brooch showed Sir Elton wearing it during the filming of the video for his 1988 song I Don’t Wanna Go On With You Like That.
