Necklace Auctions Spark Holiday Bidding Frenzy
Necklace auction hero banner

The holiday season is turning into a necklace‑focused bidding marathon, with several high‑volume auctions winding down in rapid succession. The earliest deadlines fall on the 27th of this month, when Affordable Creations wraps up its SUPER SPECIAL BOXING WEEK auction featuring 970 lots, many of which are highlighted as standout necklaces. In the same window, A.J.C.A. LLC’s Saturday Showcase concludes, offering over 2,000 lots and a curated selection of necklaces that appeal to both casual collectors and serious enthusiasts.

A day later, on the 28th, Washington Surplus Inc finalizes an auction of unclaimed property and government surplus, where a surprising number of necklaces emerge from the mix, underscoring the broad appeal of these pieces across unexpected market segments. The 30th sees a cluster of events: BYRAN'S ONTARIO WIDE TIMED ONLINE auction ends, delivering a final burst of online activity; Matthews Auction Rooms hosts its Annual Holiday Auction at 2:30 pm, showcasing more than 600 lots with a strong emphasis on necklaces; and the Four Seasons Resort Maui concludes its 35th Annual Day of Hope online auction on the 31st, with proceeds supporting charitable causes while spotlighting a curated collection of necklaces that blend style with philanthropy.

Looking beyond the immediate holidays, early next year several estates and specialty houses will present necklace‑centric sales. The Estate of Virginia Parkum, the Estate of Sandra Lynn Canady, and the Estate of Virginia Parkum’s upcoming 2026 auction all promise extensive necklace offerings, reflecting a growing trend of estate consignors leveraging the seasonal momentum. Meanwhile, auction houses such as Gildings, Sheffield Auction Gallery, Sworders Fine Art, and others have signaled upcoming catalogs that will feature necklaces prominently, indicating a market shift toward dedicated necklace listings rather than broader mixed lots.

Overall, the current landscape reveals a clear pattern: necklaces are being positioned as headline items across both online and live formats, with sellers capitalizing on holiday enthusiasm, charitable angles, and estate inventories to drive interest. Buyers can expect a continued influx of diverse necklace styles, from vintage to contemporary, as auction houses refine their strategies to meet the heightened demand throughout the season and into the new year.
