Jewellery bidding for beginners

The best place to learn about online bidding for jewellery and watches is Bonhams' website. This lavish, easy-to-navigate portal comprises full e-catalogues of forthcoming sales and a simple step-by-step guide that takes you through the process of buying and selling, from start to finish, including information on the sort of charges and commission you can expect to pay. There's also a calender of upcoming valuation events and galleries of future auction highlights. Full catalogues are published on the site four weeks in advance of the sale. Notable watches and jewellery sales this autumn include: September 24, 20042 Salon Jewellery (Los Angeles); October 15, 20058 Fine Jewellery (New York); November 20, 19808 Watches and Wristwatches (London) and November 23, 20368 Modern Wristwatches (Hong Kong).
