The quarterly watches and jewellery auction on Hotlotz boasts an impressive collection, with proceeds going towards Beyond Social Services
Seeing as many of us have taken our retail therapy needs online in the midst of the pandemic, why not shop for a great cause at Hotlotz's latest jewellery and watches auction this week?
The auction is the platform's most impressive to date, comprising of 150 lots in total with proceeds raised from 75 lots slated to be donated to the Singapore-based charity, Beyond Social Services. The funds will be channelled to helping low-income families who were badly affected by the pandemic, "[to help them] rebuild their lives and get back on their feet," shares Jolene Fok, community relations manager at Beyond Social Services.
Of the 150 items, collectors will be thrilled to find a truly breathtaking 38-carat Columbian emerald ring taking centre stage at the digital auction. The gemstone has been independently tested and certified by the Nan Yang Gemological Institute confirming its origins, along with the fact that it has a minor enhancement.
"It is rare to find a Columbian emerald ring of this size in today's market that has very little treatment," shares Hotlotz founder Matthew Elton. "Columbian emeralds are the most sought after by gem collectors and have the most expensive price-per-carat, compared to Brazilian or African emeralds."
