As is usual at this time of the year, O'Reilly's Auction Rooms in Dublin will be offering jewellery suitable for Christmas presents at the company's sale next Wednesday. A half-hoop diamond bangle, set with 11 stones of a half carat each, for example, is expected to fetch £6,000-£7,000, while a flexible bracelet with three centre diamonds of one carat each carries an estimate of £12,000-£16,000. A man's Rolex wrist watch is valued at £4,500-£5,000, the same estimation as a man's 18-carat day-date Oyster Perpetual Rolex wrist-watch.
