David Warren’s move to Moussaieff is major news in jewellery by Carol Woolton
Until recently David Warren’s life was a lengthy treasure hunt. For 42 years as senior international director of Christie’s Jewellery he travelled the world searching for historic diamonds, antique jewels and Indian treasures for the Magnificent Jewels Hong Kong and Geneva sales.
He unravelled the mystery behind Elizabeth Taylor’s 500-year old La Peregrina pearl, was involved in the sales of diamond turban ornaments from the Nizams of Hyderabad and the Politmore Tiara, worn by Princess Margaret on her wedding day.
He pioneered single theme sales, such as Bijoux Signe working with couturier Hubert de Givenchy, and sipped from a carved 408.5-carat emerald cup owned by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir.
Next week the hammer will fall on these adventures as he begins a new life on Bond Street, on the opposite side of the gavel, as the CEO of the 160-year-old House of Moussaieff family jewellers.
It’s an unprecedented move for an auction house expert to transfer into contemporary jewels and retail, albeit at the highest and most luxurious end. “I’ve always wanted a shop,” he explains, “and this will feel like my shop because I’m going to put my heart and soul into it.”

Paraiba Tourmaline from Africa
The 57 carat Mozambique Paraiba tourmaline brooch is the latest addition to the collection of exclusive jewellery created by the House of Moussaieff. The characteristics of this gem are similar to Brazilian ones: the piercing green-blue colour is due to a high concentration of copper. The Victorian oval faceting emphasises the inner brightness of the stone while the emerald and diamond setting brings out the bright neon colours.
