The collection spans 80 lots, with highlights including a 4.26 carat emerald and diamond ring, estimated to sell for £4k.

A magnificent diamond bracelet and tanzanite and diamond ring, are also in the collection and have been valued at £5k each.

Tanzanite is a blue gemstone, drawing its name from Tanzania, the only country in which it can be found.

Having been gathered over a lifetime of high society living, the collection is now up for sale from an anonymous vendor.

Amy Cameron, McTear’s Jewellery Specialist, said: “This is a quite magnificent collection, with many of the pieces showcased and admired over the years to some of the country’s highest profile events.

“It is a truly eclectic mix of items with a quirky diamond encrusted clown and a jaguar pendant sitting alongside an array of classical diamond pendants, rings and bracelets.

“With Christmas around the corner, this could be the perfect opportunity to pick up not only a stunning item of jewellery, but a rare and unusual piece with connections to high society.”
