If you want to do a gift to your daughter, you dont think to imitate Joseph Lau, 64: he is the rich person of Hong Kong, which bought the Blue Moon, the most expensive diamond in the world, sold at auction by Sotheby’s Geneva for 48.39 million dollars (https://gioiellis.com/sothebys-blue-moon-record). The billionaire, active in real estate, bought the blue diamond for the seven year old daughter. The blue diamond is 12.03 carats mounted on a ring: it was extracted in the famous Cullinan mine in South Africa Pretoria, in January 2014. It is the same mine that had already been found to be 530-carat blue diamond discovered in 1908 and then he embedded in the British royal crown. But the beauty is that the day before, this time at auction of Christie’s, the rich Chinese bought the 28.5 million rare pink diamond of 16.08 carats, which he called Sweet Josephine (http: // gioiellis .com / e-record-for-the-diamond-sweet-josephine): it’s another gift for his daughter. Not only: that in 2009 he had bought 9.5 million for another blue diamond, Star of Josephine. The daughter, whose name is obviously Josephine, was born from his relationship with an assistant magnate, Chan Hoi-Wan. Joseph Lau also has two other sons, born of his relationship with his historical partner, Yvonne Lui. But nothing diamonds for their. Federico Graglia
