A Diamond Affair

London, 29–31 October




Discover the world of Christie’s Luxury Private Sales, a unique service tailor-made to your buying and selling needs outside of the auction calendar. Join us from 29–31 October for A Diamond Affair, a selling exhibition presenting precious diamonds, bespoke Italian tailoring and John McLusky’s original James Bond artwork.

This exciting event, hosted in collaboration with the prestigious menswear luxury house Brioni, will unveil the brand’s latest collection and feature the Eye of Golconda – a 40.05-carat pear-shaped diamond, while McLusky’s rendition of 007 will transform our King Street galleries into the private quarters of Britain’s favourite secret agent. Experience a different way of buying at Christie’s, as all works on view will be available for immediate purchase.
