The verdict came in: yes, the big ring signed by Verdura, with a 16-carat ruby worth the estimate made by Christie’s experts: with an estimate that was 12 to 15 million dollars, the ring was awarded to New York to 14,160,000. The Burmese ruby, pigeon’s blood, certified as completely natural (ie not exposed to heat to enhance its hue) was the highlight of the auction. Also because the Jubilee Ruby was been baptized with this name because the auction house celebrates 250 years. In line with expectations, but just above the minimum threshold, instead went the second precious jewel auction: a ring with a cushion-cut pink diamond, with two white diamonds on the side, was sold for 8.8 million, with an estimate that was between 8 and 12 million. It ‘a sign that colored diamonds have run the race? It is not safe. A ring with a big fancy yellow diamond of 54 carats, estimated at between 1.5 and 2.5 million dollars, was sold for 2:46, almost the maximum threshold. And a ring with a sapphire cabochon set in platinum has popped $ 965,000 against a top estimate of 1.2 million euro. Federico Graglia
