This has to be one of the most unique and majestic collections ever shared with the public. I don’t usually look at these sales with absolute envy, but these pieces are simply immaculate.

There is no “ most unique “ only “unique “..The word “ unique “ does not have a comparative or superlative
Amazing artistry with highest level stones. Beautiful.
That was the most beautiful color of a ruby ive ever seen, not that i look em up but damn that was amazing.
Absolutely stunning works of art. She has good taste in jewels and husbands.
That tourmaline brooch was gorgeous.
Absolutely exquisite collection and such a noble cause! This beautiful woman obviously was beautiful inside and out and leaves a rare gemstone of goodwill in her generous legacy of love that is being passed on.
Lily is such a nice person to have donated them for charities, 😘😇❤

The Ruby flower broch is absolutely stunning 😦 it's looks so perfect and the color is so gorgeous.
Let's hope the funds got to those who needed it and was not lost to the corrupt along the way, which so often happens

Sounds like a great way to dispose of your jewelries for money without losing your social standing. Just say it will go to charity but they don’t know it’s your charity

So beautiful. They make me weep. Stunning.
Amazing gesture!! Congratulations to the philanthropist owner that parts with this magnificent collection to help others in need!!!
This collection has made my hair stand on end.....
That Ruby!! Remarkably perfect! (🔴)
As beautiful person on the outside as in the inside, and the exceptional quality of giving away her exquisite jewelry for noble selfless causes.
Beautiful,definatly artwork !
Love the art
I know a beautiful thing when I see it and this is just, wow!
Sure would be nice to be on Christie's mailing list. Looks better on her than by themselves.
Just exquisite.
A beautiful woman with a caring loving heart. God bless and bless the charities.

Wonderful Lilly Safra jewelry collection. I like the ring collection.
I am working in rough gemstones but the christies increased my interest in jewelries.
Beautiful just beautiful!
What a beautiful gift of charity...outstanding!.
Stones the size of 🥚 eggs. Barbaric designs. Safra has done incredible philanthropy with these chunky pieces. I’m glad they will serve a purpose beyond decorative.
Wow stunning pieces 😍
The music overwhelms the video
I wish these rich people would just give money directly to the people instead of funneling it through these charities that spend a big portion of their donations on salaries.

I W but even poor people give money to charity. You want to help someone help the person on the street. Help your neighbor. Stop giving money that ends up getting lost before it goes to where you intended it to go to. I just don’t get it.

It's like here in Canada Margret Trudeau getting $250,000 from the WE charity. For socializing at events, not for talking. You could smell the corruption off them. The people who worked for the charity can tell lots of stories.

That’s the point of auctioning them off. Do you think someone with a collection of gems or anything can just snap their fingers and POOF! Instantly the items magically turn into money or directly into bags of rice or something? That’s not possible. That’s why items such as these go to auction houses where people with the money bid on said items, and then IF they have the winning bid....... The auction house takes transfers the funds from the bidders banking information that they then divide amongst the various charities who have people working for them who do the legwork like farmers, doctors, drivers, and other suppliers of services that people in need then receive. Welcome to how shiny expensive things get turned into the basics of survival for people who cannot provide them for themselves. AKA...... The world of Charitable Organizations.
Stunning craftsmanship.
Awe-inspiring pieces.
So beautiful collection of jewellery
Those three rings were superb.
She is honorable and decent lady. Bless her for her kindness
The necklace is amazing. Also amazing is that it looked so good on her.
Wow amazing so beautiful
Beautiful woman with jewels and a heart to match!
Beautiful video

Good for her
@ drinny26 how right you are with your comment... I don't begrudge people for having wealth...but I am a tad sceptical of some of the people who go to or host charitable events in order to look good or to make themselves feel superior. If it comes from the heart then I take that comment back. Stunning jewels btw.

@@pumaetigre Estas jóias valiosas usam pedras e metais cujo fabrico implica exploração de terras e de suas gentes - Amazónia,... - e, no fim, vai para caridade que é gerida por muita gente que recebe salários, por isso, fazer chegar algo ao pobre é difícil. Conclusão: nada de positivo acontece e só traz fama para quem se libert das jóias.

Trying to figure out why the ruby and the sapphire in those rings had scratches all over them......?
@9fiveb180

Because corundum tends to have fine surface scratches after a lifetime of wear, and especially if they were ever kept in pouches with say other jewelry most likely diamonds where they jostled against each other causing micro abrasions. It's a pain. But I do believe they should have polished them prior to the sale. Because I mean....... that step cut diamond ring from the Golconda Mines is EVERYTHING!

The blue sapphire ring 😍
How much does a ticket cost to get in to heaven
멋찝니다~~~
I hope that these charities are going to make good use of her money and pass it to the poor
but they only need 39c per day, less than the cost of a cup of coffee
Why is the very high music!!?
Look at that Diamond ring.🙆♀️🇺🇸 N.detroit
a lot of jewelry looks like vulgar crap - NOT HERE - this stuff is EXQUISITE ! I hope that whoever buys any of this will donate good copies to a museum - this JEWELRY IS ART !
Not sure who did the audio but they did a terrible job. Music is probably two times too high.
Exceptionally beautiful jewels, but I hope that the poor miners who risk their lives to get them in mines would receive at least a 20% of the auction
