AERIN LAUDER & SOTHEBY'S JEWELS

Many of Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer's earliest memories are those of her grandmother Estée, specifically in terms of her scent and her jewelry. Estée's affinity for bold statement jewels and the importance of updating one's look for daytime and evening is one that inspired Aerin as she launched her eponymous brand in 2012, after two decades of working in various divisions of Estée Lauder Inc.

As she prepares to debut the new AERIN Tuberose Collection, which features Tuberose Le Jour Parfum (for daytime) and Tuberose Le Soir Parfum (for nighttime), Lauder is partnering with Sotheby's to explore this inescapable dichotomy in the realms of both fragrance and jewelry by selecting and commenting on her favorite pieces for day and for night:

Gem-Set Brooch, Van Cleef & Arpels, France, Circa 1957 Estimate $10,000-15,000

"I love to use birds and flowers as accessories during the day. This brooch

reminds me of my grandmother, Estée."

your day."

Pair Of Coral And Diamond Earclips, David Webb Estimate $6/8,000

"A diamond and gold bow is the perfect finishing touch to a classic black

cocktail dress."

"These David Webb earrings define classic elegance. I would love to wear

them for a fun night out on the town."

JEWELS FROM THE COLLECTION OF AERIN LAUDER

SOLD TO BENEFIT THE BREAST CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION®

In December 2012, Sotheby's was honored to offer a collection of magnificent jewels from the collections of Estée Lauder and Evelyn H. Lauder. Sold to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), the highest-rated breast cancer organization in the country, the auction culminated in the sale of an exquisite Fancy Intense Pink diamond ring from the collection of Evelyn

H. Lauder, BCRF founder, which achieved a spectacular $8.6 million to support research.

Almost five years after this auction, we at Sotheby's are honored to continue the Lauder legacy by presenting jewels from the collection of Aerin Lauder, with proceeds benefiting the BCRF. A bold, geometric ring by David Webb highlighted by rock crystal accented with diamonds presents a playful option for daytime, while a bombé styled ring studded with diamonds and textured gold by Van Cleef

& Arpels makes for a glamorous evening addition:

Gold, Rock Crystal and Diamond Ring, David Webb Estimate $4/6,000

Gold and Diamond Ring, Van Cleef & Arpels

Estimate $8/12,000
