The jewellery auction raised a total of $US78.9 million ($79.9 million), making it the highest total for such an auction in Asia and the largest at Christie’s worldwide.

Vickie Sek, director of the jewellery and jadeite department at Christie’s Asia, said, “The strength of the jewellery market was once again demonstrated in Hong Kong with a record $US78.9 auction.”

Sek said Burmese rubies, Kashmir sapphire and jadeite also fetched top prices at the auction.
