A Ceylon sapphire from the collection of the Imperial House of Romanov, which was not included in the bracelet labeled Cartier, was sold at a Sotheby's Royal and Noble Jewels auction for 4.1 million Swiss francs (about 411.1 million rubles). The auction house estimated the amount at 850,000 - 1.7 million Swiss francs. At the same time, the initial rate was announced at 600,000 Swiss francs, below the lower limit of the estimate. As a result, they were sold more than 2.4 times more expensive than the upper limit of the initial estimate. Photo: Sothebys-RBC Channel in "MAX".
