This is one of those rare combinations that could make any girl’s heart skip a beat. An extraordinary 5-carat pink diamond is up for sale in Christie’s Hong Kong store. The stone, set in a so-called “cushion-cut” ring by famed jewelers Graff Diamonds, is expected to fetch anything from $5-$7 million. The precious stone is called The Vivid Pink, which really explains, more or less, its sparkling good looks.
It is perhaps the largest Fancy Vivid Pink Potentially Flawless diamond to have ever been sold at Christie’s. The auction is expected to be held in the beginning of December. “There are pink diamonds and then there are pink diamonds,” said Francois Curiel, the international head of Christie’s jewelry department. “It is extremely rare for a stone of such top quality to appear on the market with top notes in color, cut, clarity and carat weight. This 5-carat vivid pink gem combines the best of all criteria,” Curiel added. Apparently, only one in one hundred thousand diamonds have a color that is deep enough to qualify as ‘Fancy’. Before the December auction, the Fancy Vivid Pink diamond will for on a touring display in NY, Singapore, Bangkok, Geneva and Taipei from October onwards. “In the fascinating realm of natural color diamonds, those of a distinct pink hue are among the rarest and most sought after,” Christie’s said. Of course it’s the most sought after, isn’t it gals?
