Auction Houses sell jewels that are only a few years old. Not just antiques. If someone bought jewels, but fell on hard times and needed to sell them, Chrisites and other auction houses is the perfect means, they sell jewels based on their quality not their age. (Same with the paintings and sculptures they sell.) Often jewels sold through auction commands smaller prices than the heavily inflated prices that one sees in the retail jewellers. So essentially it's cheaper to buy through auction than it is to buy from a shop. --Previous Message-- : But why would a modern piece be auctioned at : Christie's and not simply bought in a shop? :
