Princess Birgitta’s jewelry sells for 25 million kronor at Sotheby’s auction in Geneva

When Princess Birgitta died in December 2024, she left behind a large jewelry collection.

Some of it has now been auctioned.

The most expensive piece of the princess’s jewelry to go under the hammer was a brooch featuring a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds. It had been valued at around 700,000 kronor but ultimately sold for 13.4 million kronor.

Another expensive item was a sapphire and diamond necklace with matching earrings, which the princess inherited from her mother, Princess Sibylla. It sold for around ten million kronor.
