Boxing Day kicks off the season with Cadmore Auctions' Automatic Auction, a fast‑paced online sale that features a wide range of designer jewellery alongside other luxury items. The same day, Bishop & Miller runs a dedicated jewellery‑themed online auction, giving collectors a focused platform to bid. The following day, Cadmore continues its momentum with a second day of the Boxing Day Automatic Auction, again spotlighting high‑end jewellery pieces.
Moving into the weekend, Bolton Auction Rooms in the south hosts a Christmas‑timed auction that includes a curated selection of jewellery, attracting holiday shoppers looking for unique gifts. On the 30th of December, Matthews Auction Rooms holds its Annual Holiday Auction, offering over six hundred lots that feature a diverse array of jewellery styles, from contemporary designs to classic pieces, all presented in a live‑streamed format.
The final pre‑New Year event arrives on 31 December when Todd's Auctions runs a general sale that rounds out the year with a substantial jewellery segment, appealing to bidders seeking both everyday wear and statement items. Early in the new year, Elmwood's Auctions schedules a New Year’s Day Fine Jewellery and Handbags auction, providing a fresh start for collectors eager to add recent releases to their holdings.
Beyond the immediate calendar, several upcoming 2026 events promise to keep the momentum alive. Arthur Johnson & Sons will open its first 2026 sale with a live auction that includes contemporary jewellery among other categories. Fellows Auctioneers plans a dedicated jewellery auction followed by a separate jewellery‑and‑watches session, while Frederick Andrews Ltd will present a regional sale featuring jewellery in Sheerness. Harrods UK also lines up a high‑profile jewellery and luxury watch auction, and Hansons Auctioneers schedules a January antiques sale that, despite its broader title, highlights jewellery pieces.
Overall, the current auction landscape shows a clear trend toward specialised jewellery sales, both online and live, with a focus on designer and contemporary pieces. Seasonal events are clustered around the holiday period, while the new year brings a wave of dedicated jewellery auctions across the UK, indicating sustained demand and a vibrant market for fine adornments.
