The spectacular new confirmation comes from Hong Kong, where a spectacular oval brilliant diamond of 88.22 carats, D Color, Flawless, Type IIa, perfect according to every critical criterion, was sold at the Magnificent Jewels auction for 13,8 millions dollars, or 12.3 million euros. The diamond was one of only three oval diamonds of over 50 carats auctioned, and the largest for over five years.

The diamond is the color D (the highest grade for a white diamond); of exceptional clarity (it is completely flawless, both internally and externally), and has an excellent gloss and symmetry. As with the Koh-i-noor diamond (also oval) and the Cullinan I, which are part of the British Crown Jewels, the stone belongs to the rare sub-group which includes less than 2% of all gemmed diamonds, known as Type IIa .

The 242-carat rough stone that produced the diamond was discovered in Botswana in the Jwaneng mine, a mine owned by De Beers and the Botswana government, known for the production of high quality raw materials. After its discovery, the rough diamond was cut and polished for months. Given the elongated shape of the rough stone, the oval shape was chosen to preserve the greatest amount of weight. A great skill and precision was needed to cut a stone of this importance: a level of experience and mastery possessed by only a small handful of cutters from all over the world.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71849\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Superb-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Ring.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Superb-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Ring.jpg\" alt=\"Anello con zaffiro e diamanti\" width=\"709\" height=\"529\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71849\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Superb-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Ring.jpg 709w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Superb-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Ring-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Superb-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Ring-74x55.jpg 74w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Superb-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Ring-400x298.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Superb-Sapphire-and-Diamond-Ring-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anello con zaffiro e diamanti<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>In the same auction, a ring with sapphire and diamonds was sold for 2.4 million dollars, another ring with pear-cut diamond and pink diamonds was sold for 1.7 million, while a necklace of diamonds and emeralds by Van Cleef &amp; Arpels found a buyer for $ 1.1 million.
