The 52-Carat Golconda Diamond Fetches $10.9 Million<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The final jewelry auction of the year for Christie\u2019s ended with the sale of a rare 52.58-carat, D-color, internally flawless Golconda diamond for $10.9 million.<\/p>\n

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

THE PINK STAR<\/b>
\n$83.2 million<\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n

\"Pink-Star-Diamond\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

\nThe Pink Star, previously known as \u201cThe Steinmetz Pink\u201d, 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)<\/p>\n

THE ORANGE
\n<\/b>$36million<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Orange-Diamond\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“It’s a world record price for an orange diamond, it’s a world record price per carat for any colored diamond,”<\/b> the Christie’s auction house said of the sale.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It was expected to fetch a mere $21million, but ended up selling for $36million at Christie\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
