Jewellery auction hero banner

The jewellery market is buzzing with a flurry of auctions set to close in the coming weeks and into 2026. Leading the immediate rush, Kimberley Auctions is showcasing a curated selection of fine pieces and watches later this month, while Wellers’ Boxing Day sale adds a festive splash of rings, necklaces and bracelets to its post‑holiday lineup. Across the Pacific, Sydney Auction House has announced a forthcoming jewellery auction, promising a mix of contemporary designs and heritage items, with details to be released shortly.

Turning to early next year, McTear’s Auctioneers will kick off its 2026 programme with the "Timeless: Antique & Contemporary jewellery" sale, featuring everything from Georgian brooches to modern art‑deco cufflinks. Goodwin Auctions follows suit, offering a specialist Australian catalogue of rare gemstones, diamonds and high‑end jewellery, all vetted by in‑house gemologists. In the UK, Auctioneers of Bristol & Bath will host an early‑year event dedicated to antique and contemporary jewellery, complementing its broader interior design offerings.

Mid‑year momentum builds with the Auction House North East’s two‑day "Silver, Jewellery & Watches" auction, slated for the first half of 2026, and Harrods’ yet‑to‑be‑dated luxury jewellery sales, which will feature pieces from marquee brands such as Bvlgari and Chopard. Waddington’s adds an "Estate Jewellery" auction later in the year, spotlighting heirloom items from notable collections.

Online platforms are also stepping up: Ross’s auction house will run a timed "Jewellery & Watches" sale, while C&T Auctioneers lists a closing jewellery auction in its spring calendar. Specialty houses such as Lockdales and RWB are scheduling valuation days and boutique jewellery events throughout 2026, catering to both seasoned collectors and first‑time bidders.

Overall, the trend points to a diversified market: vintage heirlooms, contemporary designer pieces, and gemstone‑rich statements are all finding eager audiences. Buyers can expect a blend of in‑person viewings and digital bidding, ensuring accessibility across regions as the jewellery auction calendar unfolds.
