NEW YORK, NY.- An exceptional and rare Herm鑣 Brown Diamond & Matte Havane Alligator Kelly Dog Bracelet far surpassed its pre-auction buzz by bringing $62,500 to pace Heritage Auctions' $3.7+ million May 5, 2015 Spring Luxury Accessories Signature� Auction at the Fletcher-Sinclair Mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

"It's obviously hard to resist the wonderful and unusual combination of alligator skin and brown diamonds in this bracelet," said Kathleen Guzman, Managing Director of Heritage Auctions New York. "It typified the offerings in the auction and shows that the luxury resale market still continues to show considerable strength."

Collectors were obviously after the top Herm鑣 Kelly handbags in the auction, and none more so than a stunning Herm鑣 35cm Shiny Rose Scheherazade Porosus Crocodile Sellier Kelly Bag with Palladium Hardware, a striking color in a striking skin in a Kelly bag is not meant for those who want to blend in. Amidst spirited bidding it realized a final price of $52,500.

Other Kelly bags that were the subject of biddings wars included an Herm鑣 20cm Shiny Vert Fonce Alligator Mini Sellier Kelly Bag with Gold Hardware, in a coveted discontinued size, which realized $45,000, and a very chic Herm鑣 Matte Mais Alligator Kelly Cut Clutch Bag with Gold Hardware Pristine Condition, which brought $40,000.

As always, Herm鑣 Birkins were in demand with bidders, including the $37,500 final price realized for an Herm鑣 25cm Ombre Ring Lizard Birkin Bag with Palladium Hardware, one of Herm鑣's rarest materials ever seen and, subsequently, one sparingly seen on the secondary market.
