Christie’s to sell 10.09 carat purplish-pink diamond New York, March 6, 2011 - Christie's will offer a 10.09 Carat Fancy Vivid purplish-pink diamond at its April 12 Magnificent Jewels sale in New York. This exceptional diamond, with its highly desirable cushion cut, is estimated at US$12,000,000-15,000,000. “Collector demand for large coloured diamonds has never been stronger, especially where pink diamonds of this size and quality are concerned. Fewer than 10 percent of all pink diamonds mined weigh more than 0.20 carats, and even fewer exhibit the exceptional colour saturation and brilliance of this exceptional gem. In all my years at Christie’s, I have never seen such vivid colour in a stone of this size,” said Rahul Kadakia, Head of Jewellery at Christie's New York.
via Christie's I don't think I will be bidding for this one but what a colour! We have seen a recent increase in Fancy Coloured Diamonds at AG and believe that 2011 will be all about colour. We created the Fission Cluster with a stunning yellow diamond cushion a while ago and soon we will be dazzling you with an extra special yellow diamond pendant called Sugar Coated!
