With a Passion for Jewellery - The Collection of Ulla Nilsson

Peering into the display cases at Skånes Auktionsverk right now is like pressing your nose against a pastry shop window, longing for the marvelous creations just beyond the glass. Here, we’re met with an abundance of gleaming stones, precious metals, enchanting color shifts, and highly refined craftsmanship. The auction title, "With a Passion for Jewelry - Ulla Nilsson's Collections," couldn't be more fitting. The more than 260 lots reflect an exceptional love for rings, brooches, and pendants. From Max Hockum’s silver pieces adorned with amber, citrine, and honey-colored stones, this passion reaches back through time: the 1960s’ progressive jewelry designs featuring rock crystal, the sparkling cocktail aesthetic of the Art Deco era, which followed the Jugendstil’s cameos with flowing hair, and then down to truly antique jewelry.

Together, the collection forms an in-depth introduction to fine jewelry, with exquisite pieces in a wide price range—from shimmering enamel butterflies by Sporrong to a solitaire ring in 18K gold with a brilliant-cut diamond the size of a candy.

A warm welcome to all!

The proceeds of this auction will benefit Medicinsk Forskning, Hundstallet in Staffanstorp and Operation Smile.
