In January 2018, the company that owns the auction house and the jewellery sales company, Christian Jewellers, announced it would be closing its business and the company was seeking a buyer for the jewellers property.
The company also stated that it had a “no new business plans” as the property was sold in January 2018.
The auction house is known for its auctions and has raised over €5 million ($6.8 million) in 2017 alone.
In 2018, the company also announced that the jeweller Johannesburg sold a lot of gold filled items for more than €5,000 ($6,000).
This gold filled jewellery auction was one of the biggest selling jewellery auctions of the year.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) In a rare event in South Africa, a jeweller who was the first to sell gold filled diamond jewelry sold the most expensive items at an auction in his home town in just one day, according to the auction website.
Dennis B. Schaeffler, who owns Christian Jewels in Johannesburg, bought the gold filled diamonds for his daughter and granddaughter, the Johannesburg Free Press reported.
B.
Schaimler, the head of Christian Jewells, bought some of the items in a small jewelry collection from his family, the paper said.
It said the items sold for about 7,500 rand ($8,400) and were valued at about 7.8 billion rand ($11.4 billion).
The jeweller said he bought the items for his children and grandchildren and would keep them in a safe.
He said he did not know who the buyer was.
A man with the surname Schaefferl is the owner of the jewells jewellery and auction house, the Free Press said.
Schaufferl was born in the United States and is a naturalized South African citizen, the report said.
He told the newspaper that he was not sure who was buying the jewelled items, but he had no idea who would do it.
“I don’t know who they are.
They are the only ones who are buying these items and I don’t have any idea who they could be,” he said.
A spokesman for Schaeffell said the jewlers company had no further comment.
Earlier this month, Schaefferll also told the Johannesberg Free Press that he would sell the property if the buyer wanted it.
“If the buyer wants it, I will sell it,” he was quoted as saying.
The sale came as the country was in the midst of an economic crisis and the rand has plunged in the past two weeks.
On January 25, South African President Jacob Zuma said the government had decided to reduce the minimum wage and extend a six-month unemployment benefit to 6 million rand ($9.3 million).
On February 1, Zuma announced the introduction of a 10-day extension of the unemployment benefit.
The rand has lost almost half of its value against the U.S. dollar since March.
Last month, the South African Reserve Bank said it would cut interest rates to 3.5 percent to help boost the economy.
