2013 is a Record Breaking Year Diamond Sales

January 8, 2014Intresting Facts about Diamondswebadmin

Here are the highlights!!

The Princie Diamond that sold for $39 million in April 16th

An extraordinary 34.65 carat Fancy Intense Pink diamond set a new record high at Christie’s New York on April 16, selling for $39,323,750 (£25,560,438 / €29,886,050) with premium, or $1,135,000 per carat.

The diamond – a cushion-cut sparkler that originated from the ancient Golconda mines in South Central India — was purchased by an anonymous collector bidding by phone.

The 52-Carat Golconda Diamond Fetches $10.9 Million

The final jewelry auction of the year for Christie’s ended with the sale of a rare 52.58-carat, D-color, internally flawless Golconda diamond for $10.9 million.

Diamonds from the ancient Golconda mines in India are revered for their type, color, and degree of transparency that is rarely duplicated.

THE PINK STAR
$83.2 million

“Ladies and gentlemen, 68 million (Swiss francs) is the world record bid for a diamond ever bid and it’s right here,” Sotheby’s David Bennett said to applause as he brought down the hammer in the Geneva salesroom.

The Pink Star, previously known as “The Steinmetz Pink”, made a record $83 million dollars, including commission fees, $22 million more than expected. This internally flawless, oval cut natural fancy vivid pink diamond weighs 59.6 carats, was cut from a 132ct rough diamond that was unearthed 12 years ago (weighing 132 carats in its rough form)

THE ORANGE
$36million

“It’s a world record price for an orange diamond, it’s a world record price per carat for any colored diamond,” the Christie’s auction house said of the sale.

This 14.82ct pear-shaped diamond broke two world records: the price per carat for any fancy color diamond at auction, and the price for a fancy-vivid orange diamond.

It was expected to fetch a mere $21million, but ended up selling for $36million at Christie’s Geneva Magnificent Jewels Sale in Geneva on 12 November 2013. The total sale price was boosted by another $4.04 million in taxes and commission.

The man who made the purchase swiftly got up and left the room to a round of applause. Christie’s did not reveal his identity.

Champagne-Colored ‘Kimberley Diamond’

November 19, 2013Uncategorizedwebadmin

A rare 19th century 55-carat diamond, once part of the Russian Crown Jewels has gone on temporary view at New York’s American Museum of Natural History on Central Park West. The Diamond gets its name from the Kimberley mine in South Africa where it was found before 1868. It has also been described as a “cape diamond,” an Old World term meaning “deep color.”

The Kimberley Diamond went through a number of transformations during its 145-year history. It was cut from a 490-carat crystal into a 70-carat gem in 1921. The original diamond was fairly large, but there aren’t many descriptions of it, so its history isn’t well-known.

To improve its brilliance and proportions, the diamond was re-cut to its present form in 1958 by renowned New York City Fifth Avenue jewelers the Baumgold Bros. The rectangular diamond is about 1.25 inches in length and virtually flawless.

The diamond was then sold to Bruce F. Stuart, great-grandson of Carnation Company founder Elbridge Amos Stuart, in 1971. Over the years, the precious diamond was transferred to the Bruce F. Stuart Trust, which still owns it. The stone is on loan from the Bruce F. Stuart Trust, said exhibit curator George Harlow.
