More Women Buying Jewelry at Auction
Record numbers of women are buying jewelry at auction, driving multi-million-dollar sales and reshaping the market.
Data from Christie's auction house reveals that between 2014 and 2025, the number of female buyers and bidders increased by 567 per cent.
Historically, buying jewelry for oneself was associated with glamour and extravagance, as exemplified by figures such as Marie Antoinette and Elizabeth Taylor.
Today, it is increasingly seen as a form of financial empowerment.
The financial impact of more women buying jewelry at auction has been significant, with total spending by female buyers at Christie's rising 284 per cent, from $30.3 million in 2014 to $116.7 million in 2025.
On average, total female spending at Christie's rose 56 per cent from 2024 to 2025.
