Top pink, blue and yellow diamonds to feature at Christie’s New York sale
Top-quality pink, blue and yellow diamonds along with a fancy vivid purple-pink diamond weighing 10.09 carats with a pre-sale estimate of $12 million-15 million will be the highlights of Christie’s New York Magnificent Jewels sale on April 12.
The sale will feature Fancy Vivid blue, yellow, and Fancy Intense pink diamonds of superior size, clarity, and color saturation, Christie’s said.
“Our 2010 global jewelry sales total - the highest ever for any auction house at $426 million - was led by extraordinary prices for colored diamonds, including the Bulgari Blue sold in New York for a record $1.4 million per carat and the Perfect Pink, sold in Hong Kong for $23.1 million.
“Demand for large colored diamonds from connoisseurs and investors continues to reach new heights, and we look forward to starting the spring season with this exceptional group of top colored diamonds, curated with the specific desires of today's collectors in mind,” said Rahul Kadakia, Head of Jewelry at Christie's New York.
