- A dazzling pink diamond, described as one of the world's purest, could fetch more than $21 million when it goes under the hammer in Hong Kong in October, Sotheby's auction house said on Wednesday.
"[Pink diamonds] are exceptionally rare in nature...," Kristian Spofforth, Sotheby's head of jewelry, told Reuters at a press preview.
At 11.15 carats, the cushion-shaped gem is called “Williamson Pink Star,” in tribute to two other pink diamonds.
One is the "CTF Pink Star," a 59.60-carat oval mixed-cut diamond, which sold for a record $71.2 million at auction in 2017. The other is the “Williamson” stone - a 23.60-carat diamond given to Queen Elizabeth as a wedding gift by Canadian geologist John Thorburn Williamson. Worn by the monarch in a Cartier brooch, it was discovered in his mine in Tanzania.
"You then add in the extra factors, like it being over 10 carats, internally flawless and Type IIA, and you get right down to the pinnacle," Spofforth added, referring to a subgroup of the most chemically pure diamonds.
Top-quality coloured stones are prized by the super-wealthy and Spofforth said he expected many bids for the gem when it is offered for sale in a standalone auction on Oct 5.

Lol In the end it’s just a rock 🪨
The truth is that this diamond is worth exactly whatever you can get the next sucker to pay you for it.
It really depends on the cut of it and how old it is, ya it's a big rock but I don't think it's worth as much as they say
And those suckers actually have money to burn, a few billion dollars wouldn’t really put a dent on their bank account.
@@dayangmarikit6860 sick isn't it!
Absolutely beautiful.
😱😱😱😱😱😁
Because of inflationary pressures, I have decided I can't invest in the risk of its purchase at this time😛
Saya juga punya seperti itu
Pink diamond culinan!!!
Spending 21 million on a Rock or piece of Glass? Anyone who pay's 21 million for this Ring is a Sick minded Person in this day and age! The 21 Million should be spent on Helping the Homeless, Help with affordable housing. This Ring is worthless to me, when the World is so screwed up because of the Wealthy's Mistakes, that normal people pay for. This Rich who would spend this 21 million on a Ring, are the Biggest Problem on this Planet.
saya punya yang mentahnya dan saya akan menjualnya agar bisa menbantu saya dan orang orang disekitar saya

@@bhawanaalisha7880 so you want to turn 20 million dollars worth of diamonds into 10 million dollars worth of diamond.

Cut old age pensions cut old age security, cut long term care facilities, until we aren't drowning in the debt these generations accumulated
