Jewels auctions

Capitolium Art has over a decade of experience in organizing auctions dedicated to antique, modern, and vintage jewellery. Since 2016, approximately two auctions – either online or traditional – have been held annually, offering more than 500 lots to a broad audience of enthusiasts and collectors. These include necklaces, earrings, and precious gemstones.

These highly valuable pieces, sourced predominantly from private collections, consistently achieve strong sales thanks to the skill and expertise of our jewellery specialists. The foremost objective of Capitolium Art is to offer even the most refined and discerning collectors jewellery of guaranteed provenance and unquestionable worth.

The Jewellery Department

Established in early 2016, the Jewellery Department quickly rose to prominence in the fine jewellery market, excelling in the sale of both individual pieces and entire collections. Under the expert leadership of Luca Mantovano – a sculptor and a prominent figure in the Neapolitan jewellery scene – the department has grown steadily, presenting two auctions each year that showcase a wide-ranging selection of high-value pieces.

Each auction is a landmark event for a highly qualified international clientele, comprising both private collectors and prestigious institutions. Every item is presented with detailed technical descriptions and comprehensive analyses, conducted both in-house and in collaboration with external experts, ensuring complete transparency and accuracy. This rigorous approach allows clients to gain a clear and thorough understanding of each piece, strengthening the department’s reputation as a trusted leader in the evaluation and sale of luxury jewellery.

Luca Mantovano offers highly personalised services, including private consultations and appraisals at clients’ locations, both within Italy and internationally. Every step of the process – from lot consignment to final sale – is managed with precision, efficiency, and a strong focus on security and discretion.
