Pink diamonds are among the many rarest and most sought-after gems in the world and thought of a serious draw for traders
A uncommon, vividly rosy-purple diamond, known as the Eternal Pink and valued at $35 million, is about to be auctioned off by Sotheby’s as a part of its Magnificent Jewels sale in New York in June.
The 10.57-carat stone is being marketed as probably the most worthwhile purplish-pink diamond ever dropped at public sale, with the best ever pre-auction worth per carat estimate, in keeping with Sotheby’s.
“Its refined strains mixed with the depth of its colour earn it a spot as one of many world’s most extraordinary gems,” Tom Moses, executive vice president and chief laboratory and research officer at the Gemological Institute of America said of the cushion-cut diamond.
According to Sotheby’s, the stone, which was mined in Botswana, is “comparable to ultimate masterpieces of art — far rarer than a Magritte or a Warhol,” because of its readability and lack of imperfections.
Pink diamonds are among the many rarest and most sought-after gems in the world and thought of a serious draw for traders.
The report for highest-ever public sale worth for such a stone is held by the CTF Pink Star, which was bought for $71.2 million in Hong Kong in 2017.
The Williamson Pink Star diamond, which bought for $57.7 million in 2022, additionally in Hong Kong, holds the report for the best worth per carat, at almost $5.2 million.
