Dallas, TX - In the world of designer jewelry, as with auctions, name can be everything. In its upcoming May 11 Signature®Jewelry Auction, Heritage Auction Galleries will offer a wide array of the top names in designer jewelry for discriminating collectors at its Uptown Dallas headquarters, as well as via its Interactive Internet™ and HERITAGE Live!™ real time online features, allowing bidders to participate from home or office.

"The designer component of our May auction is quite exciting," said Jill Burgum, Heritage's Fine Jewelry Director . "For people that know their designers, this auction represents a great opportunity to add some serious pieces to their precious jewelry wardrobe."

Topping the long list of brand name designers in the May 11 auction are perennial favorites such as Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels, David Webb, Cartier, Bvlgari, Lalaounis, Schlumberger, Seaman Schepps, and Verdura. In addition, there are fine examples by contemporary designers:  Elizabeth Gage, Loree Rodkin, Andrea Molinari, Denise Roberge and Paolo Costagli, among others.

Two lots in particular stand out, said Burgum, an exquisite Diamond, Platinum Sunflower Bracelet, designed by Harry Winston that carries with it a pre-sale estimate of $18,000-$24,000.

The other lot turning heads and catching eyes is a stunning Art Deco Diamond, Emerald, Pearl, Platinum Necklace, manufactured by Cartier, Paris, which carries a pre-sale estimate of $20,000-$30,000. Both lots are expected to generate more interest from discriminating collectors as the auction date approaches.

"If you're looking to get into the designer jewelry market, or have a substantial existing collection," said Burgum, "then this auction is a golden opportunity to obtain world class jewelry that could well reside in a showroom in Paris or on the hand of Hollywood starlet. We're very excited to see how bidders respond."

"This is a great time to take advantage of consumer demand for a place to spend investment dollars that is not in stocks," Burgum continued. "Not only can buyers get something of quality that holds its value, they get to take home something beautiful as well."
