Happy Valentines with a Perfect 56 Carat Diamond

Christie's is offering a 56.12-carat, heart shaped, D colour, Internally Flawless diamond at its upcoming jewellery sale in Geneva.

Less than a handful of diamonds over 50 carats have appeared at auction in the last 20 years and this one also belongs to the elite Type IIA category of diamonds confirming it as exceptionally white.

It will be sold on May 18 when it is expected to fetch $9,000,000-12,000,000.

The heart cut is not see much at AG towers but being Valentines Day I thought it was pretty suitable to share this news. To have such a large stone at colour D and Flawless is indeed a rare thing and it will be interesting to see what the monster diamond fetches at auction. We created a modest 1ct heart pendant in platinum for one of our Yorkshire customers at Christmas and this inspired me to pursue the lesser used cuts when ever I get the chance. Keep an eye on the designer engagement rings page for these lesser spotted dazzlers!
