We've even had dormant clients, who may not have bought anything for years, being tempted back,' says David Warren, senior international jewellery director at Christie's.

Vendors no longer see offering valuable pieces on the web as somehow downgrading them. 'Any lasting resistance that people may have had to buying luxury goods online seems to have gone. It's not just the ability to reach a wider audience that has led to this upswing in online bids. 'Now.we can connect with the touch of a button, which allowed us to engage with bidders worldwide.'

'The result achieved for this bracelet is testament to the fact that, even under the most challenging of circumstances, the demand for great art endures,' said Catharine Beckett, head of Sotheby's Magnificent Jewels Auctions in New York, at the time. Like many other industries, auction houses have had to adapt during the coronavirus pandemic, turning their jewellery sales - usually held in packed-out rooms in cities like Geneva, Hong Kong or New York - into online-only affairs. Pursued by five bidders, the Tutti Frutti bracelet (a style nicknamed for its juicy-looking carved rubies, sapphires and emeralds - pictured above) eventually sold for more than 1.3 million US dollars (over £1 million), becoming the most expensive jewel ever sold in a dedicated online sale, as well as the most expensive jewel sold so far in 2020. Last month a multi-coloured Cartier bracelet, created around 1930, broke a world record when it was sold during an online auction by Sotheby's.
