American philanthropist Jayne Wrightsman (pictured with Broadway producer Gilbert Miller) has long been an astute patron of the fine and decorative arts, funding period rooms at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and commissioning influential interiors by Jansen. On the block December 5 at Sotheby’s New York, the 63 lots in “Magnificent Jewels from the Collection of Mrs. Charles Wrightsman” are miniature masterpieces one and all. Particularly splendid is a pair of sapphire-and-diamond ear clips (below), estimated at $150,000–$250,000. sothebys.com
