Jewelry Auctions Spark Holiday Bidding Frenzy Across North America
Jewelry auction hero banner

The holiday season is turning into a marathon of jewelry auctions, with several high‑profile events wrapping up within days and many more slated for the new year. On December 21, three major sales close: MacLean & Associates’ Year‑End Auction, Pickens Auction Service’s personal‑property sale, and LiveAuctioneers’ Certified Genuine Fine Jewelry Sale, all offering preview periods and online bidding windows that attract both seasoned collectors and first‑time buyers. Pacific Auction House also launches a series of fine and estate jewelry auctions on the same day, emphasizing curated pieces from recent consignments.

A week later, Able Auctions adds a dedicated jewelry auction on December 28, featuring a mixed catalog of necklaces, bracelets and other adornments, with in‑person previews and a tight online deadline that drives rapid price action.

Looking ahead, 2026 promises a steady flow of specialty jewelry sales. Stephenson’s Auction & Appraisers schedules an online event early in the year, while Artcurial’s "Joaillerie" auction in Paris and Ader’s February jewelry sale in Paris both spotlight high‑end pieces from European houses. Ross’s Auctioneers & Valuers plans a jewelry and watches online auction later in the year, and the online platform Worthy continues its rapid‑turnaround model, closing each sale within two weeks of lot arrival.

Across these events, a clear trend emerges: sellers are leveraging digital catalogs, timed online formats, and extensive preview windows to reach a global buyer base, while buyers benefit from lower buyer’s premiums and the ability to bid from home. The convergence of holiday timing, online accessibility, and a focus on high‑quality jewelry is reshaping the market, making the next few months a prime window for both acquiring and consigning prized pieces.
