Dubai – Christie’s is pleased to announce that Sophie Stevens has been appointed Head of Jewellery in the Middle East, effective from 30 April 2025.

“To be joining Christie’s in their 20th anniversary year in the UAE in a newly created role is a testament to the growing interest and demand in the secondary market in this region for exquisite and extraordinary jewels and gems. I am honoured to be appointed to work with such a dynamic team of international specialists in the luxury market and I am looking forward to working closely with Meagan Kelly Horsman, Managing Director, Christie’s Middle East.”
