Colorful tutti-fruttis, or "all fruits" in Italian, confectioneries make a delightful addition to anyone's culinary experience — even if they don't necessarily care for sweets, the candies create a vibrant aesthetic to any dish. It's no wonder this name has been given to a Cartier necklace and brooch, which feature carved emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds.

The ornate tutti-frutti pair will appear in one of several luxury item auctions by Christie's of Hong Kong at the end of this month. The auction hammer will come down at the sale of selected jewels adorned with dazzling gems and diamonds, showcasing the distinctive aesthetics of noted designers such as Harry Winston.

Also on auction will be luxury timepieces, wines and handbags.
