The Magnificent Jewels of Cecile Zilkha

Together with her husband Ezra, Cecile Zilkha committed herself to a lifetime of philanthropy, championing New York institutions including The Metropolitan Opera and The Hospital for Special Surgery. But above all else, Cecile was known for her glamorous style and love of extraordinary jewelry. In this episode of Frank’s Files, go behind the scenes with Frank Everett, stylist Seppe Tirabassi (@seppetirabassi) and photographer Lara Jade (@larajadephotography) at Sotheby’s photo shoot of Mrs. Zilkha’s jewelry at the Zilkha’s legendary New York apartment. Frank introduces the collection’s highlights, all of which will be offered in our Magnificent Jewels auction on 21 April in New York.
