Record Breaking Pink Diamond



A couple of weeks ago,
Sotheby's held an auction featuring important jewels in Geneva.

This auction made sales of 105.1 million dollars.
which is also a record breaking total for a single auction.

Wow.

The viewing room was glittery and luminous072.gif





For a starter, Onyx and diamond brooch by Bulgari.

Sold at 27,500 chf.

Gorgeously cute!

Now, something a little bit more extravagant?
Exceptional fancy vivid yellow diamond and diamond ring.

Sold at 1,874,500 chf.

Stunning, no?

And finally, the record breaking pink diamond.
Exceptionally important and exquisite fancy intense pink diamond.

Sold at 45,442,500 chf.

Roughly 46 million dollars. The highest bidding price ever for a jewel.

First bought by Harry Winston about 60 years ago,
now, it belongs to Laurence Graff.

He renamed the diamond "the Graff Pink" after the auction.

Of course, it is undeniably beautiful,
but $ 46 million for a relatively small piece of carbon crystal...
Is that justifiable?

Well, if it were mine, probably yes.
