The Highest Price Ever Paid for a Jewel
'A Fancy Intense Pink Diamond' |
|
 |
|
| |
| A gem that has been hidden away from the world in a private collection for 60 years has been sold at Sotheby's in Geneva for a record breaking $46 million (£29M). This has broken all previous records, being the highest price ever paid. |
| |
| The 'fancy intense pink' diamond weighs in at 24.78 carat and was sold to well-known British diamond dealer, Laurence Graff. Mr. Graff also bought the diamond that broke the previous world record, a blue 35.56 carat diamond for which he paid £15.2m in 2008. |
| |
| The stunning pink stone is emerald cut with gently round corners and as with all pink diamonds, is extremely rare. As the hammer went down for the last time, the auction room Geneva's Beau Rivage, a luxury hotel, broke into admiring and excited applause. |
| |
| David Bennet, the head of Sotheby's jewellery division said, 'This is the highest price ever bid for a jewel at auction. I think this tells you a bit about the health of the market.' |
| |
| And of course David Bennet is right. The interest in beautiful diamonds never seems to wane and purchasers require more and more unusual, and beautifully cut diamonds. Of course, there aren't many of us who have the resources to purchase a diamond such as the Graff Pink, but we do have access to some wonderful stones, particularly from www.mydiamonds.com.au. |
