Its per-carat estimate of more than $3.3 million is the largest such estimate ever placed on a diamond or gemstone, according to Sotheby’s.
“This stunning diamond is the best of the best when it comes to exceptional pink diamonds and it is difficult to overstate its rarity and beauty,” said Wenhao Yu, chairman of Jewellery and Watches at Sotheby’s Asia.
Sotheby’s has had some experience with important pink diamonds. The auction house sold the record-breaking CTF Pink Star, a 59.60-carat oval mixed-cut Fancy Vivid Pink Internally Flawless diamond, sold for $71.2 million—a world auction record for a diamond and any gemstone or jewel—in Hong Kong in April 2017. More recently, Sotheby’s sold the Williamson Pink Star, an 11.15-carat fancy vivid pink internally flawless diamond, for $57.
Colored diamonds continue to demand high prices at auction with exceptional pink and blue diamonds leading the way. It is because of their rarity, according to Sotheby’s. Of all the diamonds submitted to the Gemological Institute of America, fewer than 3% are classified as colored diamonds. Within these colored diamonds, pink is one of the rarest to occur naturally in diamonds.
