These days the money is in Asia. So it is not surprising that on May 28, a necklace with a 75.36-carat briolette-cut diamond pendant was sold for a monstrous sum: 11 million 145 thousand dollars during Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction in Hong Kong. The necklace was valued at between $8.5 million and $12.5 million. The large diamond is perfect: class D, type IIa: the largest briolette ever to appear at auction. At the same auction, a fringe diamond and emerald necklace was sold, consisting of eight stones set with old European cushion-cut diamonds, each weighing 10 carats. It was sold for the modest sum of 5 million 712 thousand dollars. Just to please, in the same sale a pair of earrings with Burmese rubies and diamonds were sold for the astronomical sum of 3 million 899 thousand dollars, essentially almost 2 million dollars per ear. An 8.88-carat oval Burmese ruby \u200b\u200bwith diamonds reached 2 million 883 thousand dollars. Finally, a Burmese sapphire and cushion-shaped diamonds mounted by Cartier settled for, so to speak, 2 million 811 thousand dollars.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
