Samuel Hug
Samuel’s love for jewels started at an early age, kindled through a Saturday job at his family’s jewellery shop, before doing his FGA and DGA qualifications at the Gemmological Association of Great Britain and Ireland. After university in London, where he specialised in Japanese language, Sam furthered his training in the jewellery department at Sotheby’s, cataloguing historic jewels from the collections of Vivien Leigh, Countess Mountbatten of Burma, and Marie Antoinette to name a few, as well as consigning important Cartier jewels from the collections of Annie Pearson, 1st Viscountess Cowdray, and a pair of superb Kashmir sapphires from the collection of the Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava. Sam worked at another auctioneers in the south of England before moving to Gorringe’s as Head of Jewellery. He has a particular interest in antique jewels, from medieval posy rings and Georgian rivières through to Art Nouveau and Art Deco, and, needless to say for any jewellery afficionado, loves anything Cartier.
