Theaters and Art galleries are not the
only places to enrich and inspire you. Sotheby's Auction is the place
where you can see most rare things you can't find even in a museum
and this is also the place where records are fixed! This time we are
to speak about blue diamond jewelry.
Fancy deep blue diamond was sold at
Magnificent Jewels in Geneva this month for a record price -
$10,860,146. This is a briolette 10.48-carat diamond, flawless by
nature and 'unsullied' by other colors, it set a record price per
carat for fancy blue diamond - $1.04 million. This blue beauty is
characterized by perfect symmetry and polish. According to
Gemological Institute of America (GIA), it acquired the highest
possible grade.
Actually it was not the only diamond
generously sold during the auction. Moreover, this auction featured
'the finest offering of colored gems in 20 years'! Among them were
sapphires, emeralds and rubies of highest quality, but this fancy
deep blue diamond and a pair to ruby earrings attracted most
biddings.
