Angela Berden is Senior Specialist of Christie’s European Jewellery team. Raised in a third-generation dealership of antique furniture, Angela deviated from the family business to pursue a life-long passion in jewellery. After studies in goldsmithing, Angela was accepted for an internship at Christie’s Amsterdam in 2004. This led to a move to London where she pursued her gemmological qualifications.
Angela joined the Jewellery Department of Christie’s London in 2005 and soon worked her way up to a specialist position where she handled landmark auctions including the collection of H.R.H Princess Margaret and the historic 35.56ct blue Wittelsbach Diamond which sold for $24m. In 2011, Angela was transferred to Geneva to further her specialist career and also seconded to Paris in 2013 acting as Head of Department. Now based in Geneva, Angela has worked on numerous international projects including Jewels for Hope, a $38m distinguished charity auction. More recently in May 2019, she was involved in the notable sales of a magnificent Fabergé tiara which achieved CHF1.3m and a 118ct cushion-cut yellow diamond at CHF7.1m. A Dutch national, Angela travels extensively throughout Europe for business-getting and enjoys meeting private jewellery collectors. She is also fluent in English, German and French.
