Rosamund Kwan’s Glimmering Good Deeds: A Jewelry Auction with a Heart
When the legendary actress Rosamund Kwan shared a quick Instagram clip on October 6, she didn’t just spread a smile—she spread sparkle. The 60‑year‑old star announced that she’s placing a stash of her personal jewels on auction, promising that a portion of every sale will go straight to charity. It’s not just about the bling; it’s about the big heart that accompanies it.
What’s on the Line?
Christie’s tells us the auction will feature roughly 51 pieces, with a combined value of about HK$100 million (or roughly S$16 million). Some of the crown jewels include:
- Boghossian Diamond & Ruby Ring – a dazzling behemoth estimated between HK$22 million and HK$35 million.
- Moussaieff Diamond & Ruby Earrings – twin beauties valued at over HK$10 million.
- Boucheron Diamond Ring – a classic style worth between HK$9 million and HK$12 million.
- Bulgari Diamond Brooch – a piece that’s both chic and rich, priced around HK$2.5 million to HK$3.5 million.
- Cartier Diamond Bracelet – a glamorous piece valued at HK$1.5 million to HK$2.5 million.
Why This Collection Matters
Rosamund says each item in her trove has a story—whether a tender memory, a milestone from her journey through cinema, or simply a piece that feels just right to wear every day or to pass down as an heirloom. Her hope? That these jewels find new homes, and that the proceeds brighten lives far beyond her own.
From Silver Screen to Silver Lining
The actress first captured hearts in 1982’s The Head Hunter alongside Chow Yun Fat, and later earned her place in the Once Upon a Time in China series with Jet Li. She stepped away from the spotlight in 2007, but her philanthropic spirit has taken center stage in these days.
Her Message to the World
“After nearly three years of pandemic, I’ve taken a deeper look at my mind, my body, and the world,” she told followers. “Going forward, I’ll devote more energy to learning, keeping our planet healthy, supporting communities, and making tomorrow better.” The world has responded with applause for her generosity—proof that genuine kindness still shines brighter than the flashiest diamond.
Want a closer look? A preview of the collection will be held in Singapore on October 29‑30 at the Arts House on Old Parliament Lane. Spots are limited to appointments only. The full live auction launches on November 28 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
