Max Fawcett was appointed Global Head of Jewellery in 2025, following his decade long tenure at Christie’s since joining the company in 2015. Based in Geneva, he leads Christie’s global Jewellery department, overseeing worldwide auctions, strategic business development, and client engagement across all major international markets.

A distinguished auctioneer with extensive experience across London, Geneva, Hong Kong and New York, Max has presided over numerous landmark sales. These include the celebrated Maharajas & Mughal Magnificence auction, which achieved over US$100 million in 2019—the highest total ever recorded for an auction of Indian art and Mughal jewelled objects—and the Geneva Magnificent Jewels sale in November 2025 featuring the Mellon Blue diamond, the highest value jewellery lot of the year, which achieved US$25 million.

Max began his career in Munich as an apprentice with a historic antique jeweller founded in 1692. He later moved to New York, where he worked closely with Christie’s as a dealer specialising in coloured stones and natural pearls, with a particular focus on vintage jewellery. He subsequently joined Christie’s Geneva, where he continues to contribute to the firm’s global leadership in the jewellery market.

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.
