How much would you pay for a pair of earrings that don't even match? The answer is probably more than you can afford if you are heading to today's Magnificent and Nobel jewels auction at Sotheby's in Geneva. The star attraction is a pair of earrings called Apollo and Artemis - named after the Greek gods of power and beauty. David Bennett is in charge of the sale and spoke to the BBC's Alex Ritson.
