With a pre-sale estimate of $100,000-$200,000, the lady's platinum dinner ring with a 7.96-carat Indian oval alexandrite surrounded by a double concentric border of tiny round diamonds is easily the auction's headliner.

The early 20^th century 15-piece sterling silver punch set by Whiting, is expected to change hands for $4,000-$8,000.

The oil on board in the manner of David Teniers the Elder is titled View of Amsterdam. It has a partially covered signature lower left and is dated "46" lower left.
