A Tiffany & Co. bracelet designed by Elsa Peretti is also on offer (lot #221; estimate: $15,000 – $20,000). This sculptural Bone cuff bracelet was designed to be worn on the right wrist. Its curves gently hug the wearer’s bones while creating an elegant style statement. Peretti designed the Bone cuff in the 1970s, soon after she moved into the jewelry design world and signed a contract with Tiffany. The available Bone bracelet is made of solid 18-karat yellow gold.

Several vintage vanity cases are up for bid this October. These compact cases grew in popularity during the 1920s. At that time, women’s fashion abandoned heavy layers and pockets, so these petite containers discreetly held a lady’s cosmetics, cigarette lighter, and other daily necessities. Available in this sale is an 18-karat gold and enamel vanity case from Cartier Paris (lot #251; estimate: $12,000 – $17,000). It dates back to the Art Deco period and features a lipstick attached by a delicate gold chain.
