In Geneva, Sotheby’s is auctioning a Cartier ring with an exceptional blue diamond, estimated up to 25 million.
Prepare your wallet, check your checkbook, break the piggy bank pig-shaped: to buy this ring with a big blue diamond, takes a lot of money. If you are interested, tune on the auction of November 16 at Sotheby’s in Geneva. Among the Magnificent Jewels, in fact, there is also The Sky Blue Diamond, 08.01 carats described as a wonderfully light blue, by David Bennett, chairman of Sotheby’s International Jewelry Division. All right, the opinion is interested, but it is the color of this gemstone is really out of the ordinary. No coincidence that this ring has a rating of those tall, between 15 million and 25 million dollars. The price is, in fact, determined by the quality of the stone: the Gemological Institute of America has rated The Sky Blue Diamond the highest color grading possible, Fancy Vivid blue. An assessment that places it at the top, so, between that miserable one percent of all blue diamonds, which are already rare. And more, the stone has been classified as a rare type IIb: comprising less than 0.5 percent of all diamonds of all colors. In addition, there is also the rest: the ring on which is mounted the diamond is a Cartier, which is also offering other colorless diamonds. Recall that another diamond sold at Sotheby’s, The Blue Moon, 12.03 carat cushion-shaped, was purchased at auction for 48.5 million just a year ago. This suggests that a blue diamond carat is evaluated for about 4 million: you do the math. In the same auction also belong jewelry and other precious stones: pink diamonds, antiques, extraordinary rings. We’ll talk about when it becomes available catalog. Federico Graglia
