GeraRd L. Cafe sjian
Gerard L. Cafesjian had a passion for art that consumed his life for more than six
decades. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1925 to Armenian immigrant parents,
he served in the U.S. Navy and later went to school on the G.I. Bill, graduating from
St. John’s law school.
In 1952, he began a long career with West Publishing Company, the world’s largest
publisher of legal information. As Vice President of Marketing and Sales and eventually
as a member of the Board, he initiated a nationally recognized annual art exhibition
called “Art and the Law” for which he received the prestigious Business in the Arts
Award. Upon his retirement, he founded the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
and The Cafesjian Center for the Arts in Yerevan, Armenia.
Gerard met Cleo Thomas while she was a nursing student at Roosevelt Hospital in
New York City. They married on July 4, 1947. Throughout their marriage, she was
his biggest fan and staunchest supporter. She passed away on March 7, 2013 and he
followed almost exactly 6 months later, on September 15, 2013.
Mr. Cafesjian’s extensive art collection includes one of the finest collections of
contemporary glass sculpture in the world. His love of color, light, and form is
reflected in this stunning collection of fine jewelry.

Accompanied by a fitted mahogany presentation case.
Provenance:
Illustrated on page 28 of Fred Ward’s revised edition of ‘Opals’, published 2011.
NOTES:
The artist pays homage to her native Australia by incorporating not only the natural pink diamonds
of the Argyle mine but also specimens of fossil opalized clamshell from the unique find at Coober
Pedy, Australia. Dating to over 40 million years in age, these opals are not only of gem quality but
also of great interest to Natural History as well. Assembling a collection of this quality and volume is
exceedingly time consuming.
The whimsical design of the necklace incorporates pink diamonds to signify the pink sand beaches
while the diamonds represent the ocean surf in their swirling shapes.

of Sale.
BEFORE THE SALE
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in

usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above.
All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman
Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations,
express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers,
Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation
of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose,
correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition,
size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution,
provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical
significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot
does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear
and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written
or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue,
an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the
remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty,
representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and
its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the
purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie
Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of
the lots sold in the catalogue.
AT THE SALE
Refusal of Admission
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to
refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any
bid.
Registration before Bidding
A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide
identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references.
Bidding as Principal
When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase
price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable
charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman
Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting
as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman
Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the
principal for payment.
Absentee Bids
We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24
hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at
the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S.
dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and
these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person
whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is
a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale
and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and
omissions in connection with the written bid.
Telephone Bids
On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer
makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use
reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding
by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and
omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be
recorded at the discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers.
Online Bids
We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability
for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions
related to the execution of online bids.
Reserves
Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum
price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the
low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the
absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The
auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid
on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller
up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing
bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without
reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her
discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot.
In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at
his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from
that amount.
Auctioneer’s Discretion
The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse
any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to
withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after
the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the
sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale,
our sale record is conclusive.
Successful Bid
The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser.
In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer
at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the
auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the
lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers,
Inc. sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s
hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set
forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

Non Payment

business days following the sale, we are entitled in our absolute discretion to
exercise one or more of the following measures, in addition to any additional
actions available to us by law:
LIABILITY
Condition Reports
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. is not responsible for the correctness of any
statement of any kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for
any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any
lot. Neither the seller, ourselves, our officers, employees or agents, give any
representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in
respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
description, size, quality, condition, completeness, authorship, attribution,
authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature
or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind
whatsoever is excluded by this paragraph.
Purchased Lots
If for any reason a purchased lot cannot be delivered in the same condition as at
the time of sale, or should any purchased lot be stolen, mis-delivered or lost prior
to delivery, Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. shall not be liable for any amount in
excess of that paid by the purchaser.
a.) to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per thirty (30) days
of the total purchase price
Legal Ramifications
The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions
of Sale, the conduct of the auction and any matters connected with any of the
foregoing shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the jurisdiction
in Illinois. If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the
conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
b.) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal
proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law

appropriate, to resell the property at public auction without reserve, and with the
purchaser liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses
of both sales, our commission on both sales at our regular rate, all other charges
due hereunder and incidental damages. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be
deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral
security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession
owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have
been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the
case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.
e.) to offset against any amount owed
g.) to take other action as we find necessary or appropriate
Failure to Collect Purchases
If property is not picked up within seven (7) business days following the sale,
whether or not payment has been made, Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc.
reserves the right to charge $5 per lot per day or to deliver said property to
a public warehouse for storage at the purchaser’s expense. Leslie Hindman
Auctioneers, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage to property left on its
premises for more than seven (7) business days following the sale. In addition,
we reserve the right to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per
month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the
conditions set forth herein. For property that is not picked up after thirty (30)
calendar days, an additional administration fee of $75 will be charged. Property
which is paid for but left on our premises for any reason in excess of sixty (60)
calendar days is subject to sale by us with the balance of any funds recovered in
excess of storage charges and any other fees being remitted to you.
