A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collectors to own a precious piece of New Zealand art. Bill Hammond's Melting Moments I goes under the hammer tonight for the first time- and it's expected to get about $2.5 million. It was painted during Hammond's three-year green and gold period. Webb's Director of Art Charles Ninow says a lot of interest is expected tonight. "These works are really sought after- there are hardly any of them, even though they are so iconic. Most people haven't even seen one in the flesh before, I've only seen a handful. It's a very, very exciting painting." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Low power mode. Me, too. iPhone. Me too. I just want to reach out and touch you Hold you Love you Thank you Know you Don't know how to reach out and Hold you Touch you Told you Love you But can't miss you if you're right here In my ear Always near me Loath & Fear me Fear and growing in Las Vegas Tell me you saw it all In the rainfall The teardrops The blood on the walls Did I call out for you Did I fall Did you follow I saw what I wanted I saw it all in the fall Like a star on the run Isn't it wonderful, World after war, Until death till we part, But we always were What a wonder What an atrocity What an ark to the story What a plot What a car What? I love love Tell me you saw it all In the rainfall The teardrops The blood on the walls Did I call out for you Did I fall Did you follow I saw what I wanted I saw it all in the fall Like a star on the run I just want to reach out and touch you Hold you Love you Thank you Know you Don't know how to reach out and Hold you Touch you Told you Love you But can't miss you if you're right here In my ear One year later. —- Put me to sleep so I can grieve a little longer Leave me, don't keep me believing in fairytales Now we're at war, all of us, God we are Put me on the back of your Harley I don't have a car, if not I'll just walk— We should party I got work tomorrow I'm off in the morning, though I just need a Nick of your time, I'm a Diamond; I spend mine writing and trying to die I'm not violent, I'm nearly sublime And it's all in my Eye, I am I am Time ‘This is dead Skrillex' I couldn't have been the only person to have realized the change in his music was drastic— now that I was no longer afraid to do my research, I was putting together a picture from conclusion I had already drawn long ago—his problems with alcohol, connections with women, and the other darknesses otherwise unseen to the general public that had come to me in dreams and visions consistently in the years since our ‘meeting'. It seemed as so that he may have been as miserable on his own birthday as I was, and though late and also somehow just in time, I had discovered a string of tweets that had confirmed that everything I knew in totality to be true; the darkness in his music, a result of grief and inner struggle—the cost of fame and fortune's weight having removed the broad spectrums of color and elegant, blissful, animated and moving motions in his music; it wasn't that it wasn't beautiful any longer, just darker—as if something was lost, and, as I had assumed, the cancelled shows and shadows of the staged Skrillex seen at the surface, a mere crying glimpse of the real Sonny that for whatever reason was psychically attached from my soul. That's because he doesn't have Skrillex. I have Skrillex. Yeah, I know. You should probably give it back. I would if I could! Maybe that's why he followed me to New York.

Don't tell me: More fucking cowbell. ‘This is dead Skrillex' I couldn't have been the only person to have realized the change in his music was drastic l—an now that I was no longer afraid to do my research, I was putting together a picture from conclsion I had already drawn long ago—his problems with alcohol, connections with women, and the other darknesses otherwise unseen to the general public that had come to me in dreams and visions consistently in the years since our ‘meeting'. It seemed as so that he may have been as miserable on his own birthday as I was, and though late and also somehow just in time, I had discovered a string of tweets that had confirmed that everything I knew in totality to be true; the darkness in his music, a result of grief and inner struggle—the cost of fame and fortune's weight having removed the broad spectrums of color and elegant, blissful, animated and moving motions in his music; it wasn't that it wasn't beautiful any longer, just darker—as if something was lost, and, as I had assumed, the cancelled shows and shadows of the staged Skrillex seen at the surface, a mere crying glimpse of the real Sonny that for whatever reason was psychically attached from my soul. That's because he doesn't have Skrillex. I have Skrillex. Yeah, I know. You should probably give it back. I would if I could! Maybe that's why he followed me to New York.

I don't know— What? Drop the bass. I most certainly will not DROP THE BASS! OK!OK! PUSH THE BUTTON. OK—JESUS CHRIST. SUPACREE drops the bass; a portal opens. Put me down. I'm afraid not. I'm just afraid. I almost liked New York. I did. Too much. Then: you know what happened? I got to a ‘The Bronx.' UNH. It was gross! Take it back! Throw the whole thing away. Yuck. Fuck The Bronx. And If you're from The Bronx: fuck you. Go fuck your self. Gross. Pick up your trash. Ugh. Now THAT reminded me of LA. Gross. The whole thing is the hood. I was at the laundromat, And I was sitting on top of the washing machine so I could watch my clothes dry and hypnotize myself into getting out of the Bronx Yeah And this little guy: He's three years old. He looks up at me, and he's like “Wow! How'd you get up there?!l And I told him “I'm a superhero!” And he says “You're a superhero?” I said, “Yeah”, He says “No, you're the bad guy!” I said, “Are you sure?” He's like “Yeah!” I'm like “If you say so!” You know if a 3 year old tells you you're the bad guy; You're the bad guy. I'm like “Damn, even he knows” Then again, He is a tiny black man; So of course I'll this is probably just his foresight coming in. It fucked me up a little bit. I'm thinking “Trust me dude, in 20 years— You're the bad guy I promise” I'm not being racist. It's just at this age, The hard thing about being a jaded, nearly middle aged woman just peaking the peak of her prime and still single— I'm like, “Dang. All dudes just—cheat. This is what they do.” So I'm ruined. I'm looking at a group of like 14 year old boys like “YOU HEARTLESS FOOLS.” Lol I saw this couple of kids on the bus; they had to be in like middle school It grosssed me out so much my stomach hurt They were making out; I'm like “gross” The kid was like 15, but super tall so it looked weird; but you could tell he was still a kid, cause he had braces, but he was like 6 feet tall. Fucking weird. The girl might have been like 12-13–but she hadn't hit her growth spurt yet so she looked 8 I'm like “Fucking gross” And they were Latina, So you know— She might just stay that size forever. I'm like “Ew!” They're all lovey docey, kissing and shit I'm almost 30c they look like literal children I had to turn my head It grossed me out cl. But I'm looking at these kids and I'm trying to fuxkib telepathically tell this little girl : RUN AWAY. HE WILL IILL YOU. He's probably already talking to at least 90 other girls on Twitter right now! Run away! He'll fuck you UP. That's what they do. So yeah, I see like toddlers now and I'm like Damn, you're ao cute now, You're gonna grow up to burn bodies! I look at how young innocence just gets shattered: It's so sad. Have you ever seen a toddler twerking? Fucking disgusting. Gross. Little kids in bikinis?! What's that for?! Stop that shit. People like to forget there's nasty people out there. So Supacree's a comedian, now? In one dimension, yeah! (Or several of them.) This bitch That bitch. Oooh--that bitch This bitch is about to-- She's really going to Oh yeah, I remember!

The first half of an art auction containing items from the Bank of New Zealand's collection has exceeded expectations, bringing in more than $13.5 million last night. It included the $2.45 million sale of a Colin McCahon painting, which was a new record for New Zealand. Because the collection was in public hands when it was put together, there has been some anger that the works weren't first made available to New Zealand's many museums. The national museum, Te Papa, spent just over $625,000 at the auction for two paintings, one by A. Lois White and the other by Robin White. Te Papa's chief executive, Courtney Johnston, spoke to Guyon Espiner.
The BNZ art collection that went under the hammer at Webb's sold better than predicted. Of the 50 pieces up for grabs in round one, it was a white glove sale meaning they all went - and a lot of them for over their expected value at record sale prices. Overall 13.5 million dollars was forked out for the best pieces. Director of Art at Webb's auction house Charles Ninow joins me now. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listen in as Kevin talks about working with Sotheby's Auction House for over 20 years in New York, the dramatic rise of online bidding in recent years, and the differences between his native Manhattan's art scene and that of Jackson Hole.He speaks on his typical day in the life as an auctioneer and how he has seen tastes evolve over the past two decades. He speaks in particular of the NFT (non-fungible token) phenomenon and how different generations view the idea of owning a publicly viewable piece of digital media.Topics Discussed: From Manhattan to Jackson Hole and how iconic auctions are put togetherHow the industry is adjusting to the rising trend of online biddingA day in the life of an auctioneerArtwork featured at auctions in Manhattan versus Jackson HoleThe tastes of today's younger collectors compared to older collectorsThe NFT phenomenon and other current trendsAbout the next art auctionConnect with Jackson Hole Art Auction:Website - https://jacksonholeartauction.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jacksonholeartauction/?ref=badge Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JacksonHoleArtAuction Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/jhaamedia/ Connect with Build Magazine:Website - https://rebrand.ly/bmwebInstagram - https://rebrand.ly/bmigwebFacebook - https://rebrand.ly/bmfbwebKey Quotes by Kevin:The pandemic probably pushed online bidding forward by ten years.As an auctioneer, you're essentially like a referee: You want to be respectful and give everybody a fair shot.
Folks Friends, Family, Revolutionaries & initiates,It is hard enough finding yourself in this world and understanding where you fit in it, while pretending to make enough to eat. Whether we are intimate friends in real life, or we happen to follow each other on social media platforms, the difference in the integrity of our humanity is only a conversation away.Stripping away the badges and looking at the simplest aspect of life: a home, a city that represents and looks like you; welcomes you are things most take for granted. To some like (@MarisaDelucastudio) it is the heartbeat to life. Finding ways to capture a dying city, only to feel the hear the call of an entire community outside of oneself. Struck so personally and viscerally by the images shared across the television screens, it was impossible to keep a talented artistic humanitarian down.Unafraid to stand toe-to-toe with the government bullies, but wise enough to use her intellect and fine art motor skills. Marisa has created an organization @artistsinsolidarityofficial that helps bridge pathways to humanity. Specifically to some of the Native Mexican sols whose ancestors were the original caretakers of this land. A bit of color here, community of artists there; and oh the Humanity one can paint.From the fringes of social media, chance meetings at pop-up events, and direct voluntolding from trusted friends; listen as we find more ways to Humanize a wildly diverse community of individuals. Through conversation, art, and a bit of online magical auction, enjoy another degree of Humanity.Thank you @marisa for dropping knowledge and being a legit co-conspirator. Bite em in the knee caps! @Asett_auco for folks thinking we capture these voices so well, nah it's the Visionary Master of Arts. @Xloomus for the looong ass #HumanizeUs intro.Always you Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, & Initiates, there's no love, conversation, or wildly diverse communication without you.Keep sharing the voices of the community, make em rain down from the mountaintop; because Thoughts are Free, Revolution takes Action; Be Revolutionary.Support the show

Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio
Besides leading language courses the Czech and Slovak school Okénko in London are very much involved in various projects. One of them is a special artistic fundraising event, they have put together for the people in Ukraine. Last week, the Environment Ministry has filed a criminal complaint against an unknown perpetrator for illegally feeding bears while disregarding dangers such a behaviour might cause. The ministry responded this way to recent attacks by a brown bear on humans in central Slovakia. Mayors of towns and villages call on authorities to address what they see as an unsustainable overpopulation of brown bears. What do we actually know about the bear population in Slovakia? We speak to Robin Rigg, the head of the Slovak Wildlife Society
Donald Towns and Dwight Dryer representing Art 2022 stop by to tell us about what to expect at this years event. Both Donald and Dwight have extensive experience as artist and in 2021 they helped bring Art 2021 to Tehachapi. More than $100,000 was raised at auction from this Tehachapi inspired Art Collection that was created by artist from around the country. We share more of the story in our conversation with them on TehachaPod. You can get more information on Art 2022 at www.ArtsTehachapi.org Send your show thoughts and questions to Media@TehachapiCityHall.com.

What you'll learn in this episode: How David earned the nickname the “100-carat man” for selling some of the most expensive jewels in history What type of buyers are interested in eight-figure gems How David got the opportunity to write “Understanding Jewelry” with Daniela Mascetti Why the most incredible jewelry may be off the beaten path Why 18th century jewelry is so rare, and why people have refashioned old jewelry throughout history About David Bennett Regarded internationally as a leading authority in the field of precious stones and jewelry, David Bennett is best known in his role as Worldwide Chairman of Sotheby's Jewelry Division, a post he held until 2020, after a brilliant 42 years career at Sotheby's. During his prestigious career David sold three of the five most expensive jewels in auction history and as well as seven 100-carat diamonds – earning him the nickname the ‘100-carat man'. David has also presided over many legendary, record-breaking auctions such as the Jewels of the Duchess of Windsor (1987), The Princely Collections of Thurn und Taxis (1992) and Royal Jewels from the Bourbon-Parma Family (2018). Among the many records achieved during his career as an auctioneer is that for the highest price ever paid for a gemstone, the CTF Pink Star, a 59.60ct Vivid Pink diamond which sold for $71.2 million in 2017, and the world record for any jewelry sale where he achieved a total of $175.1 million in May 2016.

Before retiring from Sotheby's in 2020, David sold the Pink Star, the most expensive gem ever sold at auction, and whopping seven 100-carat diamonds. He's also the co-author of the jewelry bible “Understanding Jewelry” with his colleague Daniela Mascetti. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about his new business with Daniela; what it was like to handle some of the world's most precious jewels; and why he thinks gemstones hold incredible power. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. Today, my guest is David Bennett, who you may be familiar with. He coauthored with Daniela Mascetti what is often referred to as the Bible of the jewelry industry, and that is the ubiquitous book, “Understanding Jewelry.” David spent his 40-year at the international auction house Sotheby's. When he left, he held the position of Worldwide Chairman of International Jewelry. He's a veteran of gemstones and is often called the “100-carat man” because of his multiple sales of hundred-carat diamonds at record-breaking prices. Welcome back. So, you have hidden gems. Now, are the hidden treasures, the hidden gems, the ones you say, “We think this is a great piece of jewelry,” are those available for people to buy? David: Yeah, not through us. Basically, we're offering to be the eyes for collectors. Let's say in London at a certain resale, we might find a great piece of 1925 Cartier. We'll photograph it and write what we think about it. It'll be an appraisal, as it were. This is what you wouldn't see if you went down the main streets. I think in London the most important resales of collectible jewelry are of the 19th century, early 20th century jewelry. Our offices are not at street level, only shop fronts. We hope at least it'll be used to appeal to collectors from the Far East who, if they arrive in London or Geneva or Paris, don't quite know where to go. Daniela is an excellent lecturer and a great jewelry historian, so she's been doing these online courses. For example, one recently was on Art Deco. We're going to be offering those. That's the other rung, the other important part of Understanding Jewelry, the website we want to do. It's an education thing as well, not because it's just education, but also because I think the more you know about something, the more interesting it becomes. You could have some very beautiful jewelry, but the more you know about it, the more interesting it becomes. When you're wearing it, you know more about it. Does that make sense? Sharon: Yes, it makes a lot of sense. She is an excellent lecturer. I took the Art Deco class online, and I'm looking forward to more of your educational classes. David: Absolutely, yeah. Sharon: You mentioned that when you started out in the auction world, it wasn't collectors or private individuals who came; it was people in the trade, and they'd break up the jewels and that sort of thing. Why did it change? How did it change? What happened? David: This is back in 1974 with the first sales in London. It's difficult to imagine now, but there was absolutely no market for 1930s jewelry. If you had big, 1930s diamond bracelets, believe it or not, they were sold and immediately broken up. The stems were taken out and reused, very often poor or bizarrely. The cushion-shaped diamonds in the set were then recut. It's a modern brilliance. Everything changes. Nowadays people will pay premiums for the old stems and of course, as you know, 1930s jewelry is very, very sought after now. Sharon: Yes, it's very hard to find, the 30s. You can find some 40s and of course 50s, but not the 30s. So, what changed? David: It changes all the time. It happens. This is not something new. In the 19th century, jewelry was being broken up and redesigned all the time. Up until about the 1840s, all the gold had to be reused because they weren't finding gold—you had the California Gold Rush and then South Africa and everywhere else. In fact, it's been estimated that something like 90 or 80 percent of the gold in use in 1800 had been in use since Roman times. The other thing is that jewelry is set with stones that are very hard, very durable. Gold doesn't oxidize. It can be melted down very easily into this basal moss. So, all of this made it very susceptible to being remodeled and restyled. In the 19th century, this was happening all the time. If you were a fashionable lady in the 1850s, you wouldn't want to wear, if you could avoid it, an 1830s or 1820s brooch because it would be out of fashion. Everything was in check. This is, of course, very good news for the jewelers who were reusing things, but it made jewelry from before that period much rarer. 18th century jewelry is really, really rare. Diamond jewelry is as rare as hen's teeth, but most of it, if you think about the great 18th century diamond jewelry, is in the Kremlin from the Catherine the Great period, even though they sold most of it. The Soviets sold it in the 1920s. The point I'm trying to make is that refashioning and redesigning jewelry is nothing new. In the 20th century, the phenomenon I was watching was the grand jewelry. When you think about it, by the end of the decade—I'm talking about the 1970s—Art Deco jewelry was already becoming collected, so they weren't breaking them up anymore; they were trying to keep them. But who knows how many bracelets and jewels from that period disappeared. That was from the 1930s to the 1980s, about 50 years. What we've noticed is that the gap between when something is out of fashion and then becomes a classic and returns to fashion has become shorter and shorter. Nowadays people are talking about how desirable 80s jewelry is. It is shortening. So, I think there's still a lot of room for new collectors to decide where they would like to position themselves. By the mid-90s, there was only one buying public; she was in the Middle East before the fortunes being made from the oil industry. It's significantly changed the whole look of jewelry, and it started at the end of the 70s. In 1970, you'd walk around Place Vendome in Paris, the great address, and see the great French jewelry. Everything in the windows would have been in platinum and diamonds and so forth, but by the end of the decade, you wouldn't really see platinum and diamonds; everything would be in yellow gold, which the Middle East likes. There would be colored stones. It would be very colorful. There was a mad scramble during the 70s and 80s to redesign everything for this new market, which had very clear ideas about what they wanted. The one thing about jewelry, as I say, is that it can be designed relatively quickly, but the invention is the problem, coming up with these new designs, having a style. That's why everybody looks back to the great years from the middle of the 19th century to 1960, when all these wonderful, new designs were changing. They were really groundbreaking designs. Sharon: What were your thoughts when you started seeing private individuals at auctions as well as dealers? Did they start trickling in? How did it happen? David: There were very few private individuals that came to the London jewelry sales in the 70s. They were collectors, so they would argue as to what was coming up. There were a few, a handful of them probably. I can't think of exactly the date, but around this time, Sotheby's had purchased a New York brand, Park Van Ness. Very few offices existed at that time. I think there were offices in Florence and Paris when I was there, but there wasn't this massive expansion that happened in the 80s, which made Sotheby's increase worldwide. It was a massive change, and I had my sales like the Duchess of Windsor's jewels, which was a career-defining moment for me. By then, you had people bidding by telephone from all over the world. It was completely different. The auction room was packed with private individuals clamoring to buy a piece of history, the jewelry where the King of England had given up his throne for the love of a woman. What an amazing story! It caught the imagination of every newspaper in the world. It was fantastic, and it was great jewelry. The Duke of Windsor, before he was crowned—because he wasn't crowned—and Wallis Simpson, the American socialite, they both absolutely adored jewelry and had very clear ideas of what they wanted, so the collection was just stunning. I remember when I was doing the catalogue, interviewing Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels. He was recounting these extraordinary stories about how the Duke and Duchess would come into Van Cleef & Arpels, and he, as a young man, would have participated in the design of these jewels because they knew clearly what they wanted. If you look at some of the designs in the catalogue, they really are museum pieces. They transformed the look of jewelry in the 20th century, so it was wonderful stuff. That catalogue was a memorable moment. Sharon: Wow! I can understand that. That would definitely be seared in your mind. I was reading one of the interviews with you in the New York Times. You talk about the fact that with your new business, you wanted to instill a sense of wonder in jewelry. Do you think that has been lost a little? David: I guess what I was trying to say was that you get to an age—I'm coming to 70 soon, if I make it, very soon actually, alarmingly soon—and you start thinking, “I ought to try to give back some of the pleasure that I've got out of this totally unexpected path that I've trodden for the last 46 years, or however long it is.” One of the things that used to amaze me, and still does, is the power. The world-record ruby that I sold, I named it the Sunrise Ruby after this wonderful poem by Rumi, the 14th century poet. The owner showed it to me and it literally took my breath away. I was so shocked by it. First of all, it was 25 carats, a huge size for a Burma ruby, the top color. Everything about it was absolutely sensational, magnificent, towering, sterling. I wanted to try to communicate the effects that stone had on me and why, and what I think some people miss. The reason a lot of people miss it is because they haven't been as fortunate as I have of seeing something like that. You wouldn't see it walking down Madison Avenue. It wouldn't be in a window. Nevertheless, if you can imagine the most wonderful ruby you've ever seen, the most wonderful red, a stone like that has infinite power. I made a little video about the Sunrise Ruby. If you look at it online on the Understanding Jewelry site, I talk about why this is so important, particularly to me. It enters into this thing I have with astrology. Rubies, like all gemstones, are related to very important spiritual centers in the body. So, the effect, at least what I sensed, is really felt in the body. The ruby particularly, is known in India as the rise of the king of gemstones, more than diamonds, more than anything else, because it is so powerful. A lot of people say, “Yeah, a ruby's powerful.” It sounds a bit new age, doesn't it? But I promise you—like I said, I'm not telling a story; this is true—a ruby of that quality and that size and that color is unspeakable. It's a wonderful thing. What I wanted to try to communicate is a sense of wonder, because when you're looking at it, it's like there's nothing else; there is only that stone. Sharon: Did working with gems lead to astrology, or was it philosophy and then to astrology? How did that work? David: Actually, it's very interesting. As an astrologer, I was constantly look at patterns, looking backward, looking at the past. Where was it coming from? Where is it leading? Why did it go off in that direction and then come back? Because everything in the end is linked. There's nothing random about anybody's life. Nothing happens to you, none of the people you meet, none of the people you marry, none of the places you go are by chance. There's a reason why I know all of that—and actually, if you think about it, it's pretty obvious—but what's not obvious is what the reasons are and what the patterns are. Let's say I'd been halfway through 20 years into working with jewelry at auction and at the same time, I was doing more and more in astrology, more and more consulting. I don't do astrology for money. I don't charge; I refuse to charge, but I also refuse to do somebody's chart if there's anything with which I can help. That's the playoff, but actually I don't need to charge. If ever I need somebody to feed myself, then maybe I would. It's as simple as that. I received it freely, and I'm very pleased to give it back freely. I began to say, “Look, I've spent 20 years in jewelry and gemstones out of the blue” when really, if you had asked me at the beginning what I was going do, I would have thought it would be something to do with astrology, making films about it, something like that. Sharon: I think philosophy is such a brain twister just from my limited exposure to it. I just say, “I'm not good at puzzles.” I admire the fact that it was of such interest to you because for me, it was like, “Oh my god!” David: Oh, really? I've got this property I'm setting out in Burgundy. It's quite a large, rambling place, and it has a room I'm making into a lecture room. The last two years, of course, nothing has happened. So, I've organized with a group of friends some seminars on various subjects. The last one was about ayurveda. Sharon: It was about what? I'm sorry. David: Ayurveda. Sharon: Oh, ayurveda, O.K. David: And we invited David Frawley, who has written more than 50 books about ayurveda. He's the great guru of ayurveda, and we built a seminar around him. That's just one example, but I've been doing them maybe once or twice a year, and we've done many things. 20 years ago, the first one I gave was about sacred geometry, for example, but more recently they've been about healing plants, wild healing herbs and so forth. That's been great fun. It's nonprofit. It's just for fun. Well, more than fun; hopefully people get more than fun out of it, but it's a different type of learning. It's trying to get people to look more inwards rather than outwards, if you know what I mean. It's been a great success, and it's a great success largely because people have made it a success. It's a great pleasure for me to be able to share this place with other people to make it work. Sharon: I'll have to look at my jewelry again and think about what I was thinking at the time. Sometimes I do ask myself, “What was I thinking?” David, thank you so much for being with us today. It's great to talk with you. David: I was interested and it's good fun. Thank you. Sharon: Thank you so much. Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

With that in mind, I wanted to let you know about an upcoming jewelry conference, which is “Beyond Boundaries: Jewelry of the Americas.” It's sponsored by the Association for the Study of Jewelry and Related Arts, or, as it's otherwise known, ASJRA. The conference takes place virtually on Saturday and Sunday May 21 and May 22, which is around the corner. For details on the program and the speakers, go to www.jewelryconference.com. Non-members are welcome. I have to say that I attended this conference in person for several years, and it's one of my favorite conferences. It's a real treat to be able to sit in your pajamas or in comfies in your living room and listen to some extraordinary speakers. So, check it out. Register at www.jewelryconference.com. See you there. This is a two-part Jewelry Journey podcast. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it comes out later this week. Today, my guest is David Bennett, who you may be familiar with. He coauthored with Daniela Mascetti what is often referred to as the bible of the jewelry industry, and that is the ubiquitous book “Understanding Jewelry.” David spent his 40-year career at the international auction house Sotheby's. When he left, he held the position of Worldwide Chairman of International Jewelry. He's a veteran of gemstones and is often called the “100-carat man” because of his multiple sales of hundred-carat diamonds at record-breaking prices. He and Daniela just published “Understanding Jewelry: The 20th Century.” They've also launched an online business, UnderstandingJewelry.com, which encompasses education, appraisals, travel and more. In his spare time, he is a part-time lecturer in philosophy, and he's also an astrologer. We'll hear more about his extraordinary jewelry journey today. David, welcome to the program. David: A pleasure. Sharon: So glad to have you. Tell us about your jewelry journey, how you became involved with jewelry and how you joined Sotheby's. It's an interesting story. David: As you've already mentioned, I graduated in philosophy. Most people are rather surprised about that. It's a wonderful thing to study. It was a long time ago in the distant past. I graduated in 1973. I wanted, after university, to go to the London Film School because I've always been interested in film as a medium, but my father, who was basically a Victorian, thought that Hollywood was not the sort of thing for a young gentleman. He cunningly invited me for lunch with a friend of his who was a director at Sotheby's. He painted Sotheby's so glamorously, I might say, more than anything else, and he invited me to come on a one-year training in all the things that Sotheby's sold, from contemporary art to silver. I thought, “Oh, O.K., that's another year of education.” It was the beginning of many years of education, but I thought I'd try that. In May of the following year, Britain and most of the world had fallen into disastrous economic times. London was working a three-day week because there wasn't electricity to power it. It's amazing when you think of it. Of course, as a result, there were very few jobs, so for the first time in my life until that point, I suddenly thought, “I'd better get about what I'm going to do.” Literally, I hadn't thought about it. I thought, “Well, something will come up, maybe a lecturer in philosophy.” So, in this very difficult environment, my father's friend came to me and said, “Look, David, I've got a job for you.” I said, “Great, what is it?” He said, “It's in the jewelry department,” and I said, “The jewelry department. I don't even know how to spell sapphire. Is it two p's or one?” He said, “You'll love it. They have sales. They just started having sales in Switzerland. There's a lot of travel, and you'll be getting in at the ground floor of very interesting subjects.” I was very skeptical about it, but he said, “Look, more important than anything else, you need a job because the world's going into a very difficult time.” In fact, he turned out to be right, because it was at least 15 years before we started to get out of this massive crisis at the time. So, I took the job and that's how I got into it. It was sort of through the back door. I knew nothing about jewelry, absolutely nothing about jewelry. It was a huge learning curve, a huge apprenticeship. I think I mentioned to you that I went out early on and bought some sheets of gold and silver. I learned how to work with the metal and how difficult it is to set a stone in a ring. I wanted to know about everything. I wanted to know about Roman jewelry, Greek jewelry. I thought, “If I'm going to spend my whole life doing this, I don't want to have any bits that I don't know at least something about.” So, that's how I began. As always in careers, you get a lot of lucky breaks. People seemed to like me, which is very surprising, so there you are. I got quickly promoted, and my first big job was running the London Jewelry Department. That was in 1984. I took my first auction in 1979. The big break after that was that I was promoted to head of jewelry in Europe and the Middle East in 1989. I moved with that promotion to Geneva, which was a great move, a wonderful place. Then I started having to make my mark. I was in a highly competitive environment. Christie's the main competitor. It's an extremely good company as well. We ran sales in Geneva. My principal sales were in Geneva twice a year and once at St. Moritz in the winter, at which we competed to do the largest turnover and the biggest, record-breaking sales and the biggest, record-breaking stones and so on. It was a great time, and I continued doing that until two years ago when I retired. By then, I'd become Worldwide Chairman of Sotheby's. During this career, I was very lucky because I saw some of the greatest jewels in the world. I still hold the world record for the most expensive diamond ever sold at more than $70 million. I sold the most expensive ruby ever sold for more than $30 million. There were so many wonderful collections, like the Windsor Sale in 1987, which is what made my name really. The jewels of the Duchess of Windsor are still the most incredible auction. So, it was a combination of determination and lucky breaks. Everybody's career is like this. Sharon: What were your thoughts the first time you looked at a 100-carat? Was it, “Oh, there's another diamond?” or was it “Oh my god, how could that be?” David: The first time I saw one was in the summer of 1990. I had just arrived in Geneva. I put together my first sale, really, in Geneva, and I wanted to make a mark, to do something that nobody else had done. I can see it now. In those days, I was in this splendid Medieval chateau in the middle of nowhere in France, and I got a phone call. In those days, mobile phones were virtually unheard of, so it was a big thing like a brick, and this chap said, “I've heard about you. I've got a very important stone I'd like you to come and see. Would you be able to come to Antwerp to meet me?” In those days, the answer was always yes. So, I left my family there and took a plane right to Antwerp. This young chap, about the same age as me, passed a little bag across the table, and there was the first hundred carats of the Pashe Stone. Extraordinary. It was D color, internally flawless, actually like a piece of ice. It was absolutely crystal clear. I fell in love with it, so he said, “Do you think you could sell it?” I said I had absolutely no idea, but I'd love to try. He said it was $12 million. I can't remember the exact figures for it. That was probably nearly double what any other diamond had ever sold for, but in the beginning when you take risks, you're very comfortable. When I got home that night, my wife said to me, “You look worried. What's the matter?” I said, “Well, I think I may have made the biggest mistake of my career.” She said, “What?” I said, “I've taken a diamond worth $12 to 15 million.” And she said, “You're kidding me.” I said, “No.” And then she said that awful question that began to haunt me: “Who would you be selling it to?” At that point, I didn't know. I had three months to find somebody. I remember it was rather amusing because the timing could not have been worse. A week after that—you're just about old enough, I think, to remember—Hussein invaded Kuwait. Do you remember? Sharon: Yes. David: You may remember what happened, because I remember it vividly. The world went into shock. Markets dropped. In Switzerland—can you believe it—we all had to suddenly take rations into our air raid shelters. I thought, “Oh, that's that, then. At least it lets me off the hook. Maybe he doesn't expect it to sell now.” Either way, it was a bit of a relief. After this, I decided to start taking it around the world a bit. I took it to certain countries in the Middle East and began showing it to possible clients. One chap, I'll never forget it, came in and said, “Sir, can I see the stone?” and I said, “By all means.” He's looking at the stone, and I'm thinking, “He's been looking for a long time. Honestly, he really seems to like it.” So, I said, “Sir, are you buying for your wife?” There's a young man talking; my naivete. He looked at me with a slight grin and he said, “No.” So, I said, “For somebody else, then?” He said, “No, it's for nobody.” I said, “You want it because you think it's an investment?” He said, “Maybe partly, yes.” I said, “What's the main reason?” He said—it's something that's stuck in my mind ever since—“How can I put $14 million in my pocket any other way?” Maybe uranium. You'd still need a lead box, but it was an extraordinary thought. When you've got war around, this sort of thing matters, doesn't it? It's portable value. Throughout history, for the last 4,000 years, jewelry has also been used for that specific purpose because it's very portable. So, I get up on the rostrum. I have no idea that I'm going to sell it. I think there were 200 lots before the final lot with this 100-carat diamond. The sale was going quite well. I opened the lot. I think I opened at $8 million. There wasn't much interest at all when they start bidding. Suddenly, right at the back of the room, this chap started waving his hand. I took the bids from him and knocked it down for him, “Sold!” All the cameras and TV stations and radios in the room are approaching the rostrum where I was standing. Of course, the first question to me is, “Who's the buyer?” Now, I looked at the back of the room, and the man who had raised his hand, as I was being asked the question, was moving very quickly out of the back of the room. I said, “Oh my god!” because that was the worst possible thing that could have happened in those days. This was before you had to register to bid. It could have been some sort of maniac. So, I quickly got my colleagues sitting beside me. I said, “Run after him. Find out who it is.” Luckily, they found him as he was leaving the hotel where we had been holding the sale. He was in fact the driver, the chauffeur, of the buyer. So, I was lucky that I was able to announce the buyer. That was the first of many extraordinary experiences with highly valued stones, pink diamonds, blue diamonds. They make millions and millions. Within 10 or 15 years, $12 million had been dwarfed by bigger stones and higher-value things. It was an extraordinary career when I look back at it. I'm quite busy doing what I'm doing now, to be honest with you. There comes a point where something like that, that is so unpredictable—you don't know what the next stone is going to be, what the next collection is going to be—you suddenly start thinking, “Actually, I've done that. I'd like to do something else.” That's when Daniela and I, about two years ago, decided we would retire. We were above the age we were expected to do that, so we set up this company, which so far has been great fun. Sharon: You mean your online company, UnderstandingJewelry.com. David: Yeah. Sharon: Did you decide to write the book and then it occurred to you to do this? David: No, the history of the book is a thing in itself. Believe or not, I'm thinking back to 1986. I got a phone call. I'm in the office and this chap was on the phone. He said, “Mr. Bennett?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “I'm so-and-so. I'm from a publishing company. I'd like to take you for lunch,” and I said, “O.K.” We fixed it for a week's time. We arrived at this restaurant, and he said, “Thank you. Now, I'll explain why I want to see you,” and as he did so, he slid across the table an envelope. He said, “Have a look inside.” Inside in the envelope was a check for a man who just had his second baby, a check for the sort of sum of money that makes you think. I said, “What is this for?” because I was suspicious. He said, “That's an advance, because you're going to write me a book, and it's going to be called ‘Understanding Jewelry.' Amazing, isn't it?” I said, “Really?” and he said, “Well, what do you think?” I said, quite candidly, “That amount of money is quite persuasive. Let me think about it.” I thought about it for a couple of days and said yes, and he said, “O.K., I want the first manuscript within a year,” and they published the book within two years. When I got back to the office, I said, “Goodness me, O.K. Well, you'd better get started.” I began quickly to realize that I wasn't going to be able to do this on my own because I had so many other things going on. Daniela was working with me in London at that time, so I approached her because she's a real academic. She loves research and everything else, so I said, “Look, would you be interested?” and she said, “Yeah, absolutely. Let's do it.” That's where it began. It took about two years to write it. In those days, writing a book like that was much more complicated because when you put the book together, you have the negatives of everything, and you can imagine there were a huge number of photographs in the book. Each one of them had to be printed. It's not like nowadays, where you have digital photographs. It was a massive task, and without Daniela it would never have been written. We brought it out in the autumn of 1989, just as I was leaving to go live in Switzerland, and it was a huge success right from the word go. We thought, “We'll sell a few copies.” In fact, it's been incredible. They're saying it's the largest selling hardback book in jewelry in the world. It's been around so long. Sharon: It wouldn't surprise me. I know you've had several updates. David: And 10 reprints, separate editions in Russian, Japanese, Italian, Hungarian, even. It's been great. In 2012, we decided that we'd become old and ugly enough to think about another book, so we wrote one for ourselves called “Celebrating Jewelry,” which was done for our own pleasure. We just chose items that we'd sold throughout our careers and wrote a book about it. That was also celebrating the new photography that was available. “Understanding Jewelry: The 20th Century” came out at the end of last year. It's selling very well. We're working now on another book, “Understanding Jewelry: The 19th Century.” We're both looking forward to it, as it's one of our favorite periods of the history of jewelry. Sharon: What made you decide to write “Understanding Jewelry: The 20th Century?” What made you decide it was time to write another book? David: It was very simple, actually, because “Understanding Jewelry” runs a timeline. It begins from about 1750 and runs all the way through to when it was written, the late 20th century. With 20 years of hindsight about the 20th century, we're a little bit distant; we have a little bit of perspective about it. We thought the obvious thing to do was to complete the last two decades of the 20th century with the best of hindsight and everything else. It became clear to us that we'd like to do that also to the 19th century. So, we decided to have two new volumes which go into more depth about each of the time periods. Sharon: Did you decide to launch the online business when you were writing the book? Did you think, “Oh, this would make a great business online?” or had you already thought about doing an online business? David: I was thinking about it with what's happened in the last 10 or 15 years in our careers. What became quite clear to me was the power of the internet, particularly, for example, on the auction business. 20 years ago, you would have had virtually no bids coming online because they wouldn't be online. Even before I left two years ago, huge portions of the sale were being sold to online bidders, very often people who'd never seen a piece of jewelry that was being sold. It seemed to me that there was this opportunity for us to offer a service to people who were collectors of jewelry, but weren't able to see the jewels themselves. A lot of the new collectors are, as you know, from the Far East and, increasingly and in very recent times, from mainland China. What I think people need in this new online world is—we wanted to offer a sort of endorsement. We wanted to be able to say that we think this is a wonderful piece of jewelry. We've seen it. We've handled it. We have this section to bring out very shortly, in the next month or so, beginning with London and Geneva and then New York and other cities, looking at what's on offer within the trade. We call it “Hidden Treasures,” because a lot of the great jewelry retailers or specialized retailers are not shop fronts on Madison Avenue or on Wall Street. You have to know where they are, and we've chosen pieces in their retailers to write about. We're not owned by price; we're not trying to sell them. It's just to say that these are great pieces; have a look at them. See what you think, and we offer other services that offset our evaluation services. This summer in June, we're starting our first tour. It starts in Burgundy, where I'm sitting now, at my property in Burgundy, and then we move to Paris. We're going to take a group of 12 or 14 collectors. It'll be lectures and visits. Hopefully, the idea is that it'll be nearly a week of entertainment but also study. It's meant to be a learning thing as well as being entertaining. We're going to visit some great restaurants around here, great restaurants in Paris. We're going to visit the remaining French crown jewels. We've also been invited by some of the major historic jewel companies, Cartier, Boucheron, Valeria, so we'll be taking this group there to have an insider's look at these companies. This particular course, which will be between Burgundy and Paris, as I said, will feature jewelry from 1880 to World War II, so Belle Epoque, the Gaden style and Art Déco very roughly. It will be quite an intense six days I think, speckled with fun. Sharon: I'm sure. It sounds very intense. It sounds like somebody would learn a lot.
