Pink Star Diamond Sold For $71m In Hong Kong by xxolisexx(m): 7:47pm On Apr 04, 2017 |
The oval-shaped 59.6 carat stone was bought
after just five minutes' bidding at Sotheby's,
reports said.
It is the largest polished diamond in its class to
go under the hammer.
It sold for $83m in Geneva in 2013 but the buyer
later defaulted. The record until now was held
by the Oppenheimer Blue, which sold for $50m
last May.
Bidding for the gem, which was found by De
Beers at a mine in Africa in 1999 and cut over a
period of two years, began at $56m.
Sotheby's said the buyer was Hong Kong
jewellery retailer Chow Tai Fook Jewellery.
Alexander Breckner, head of diamonds at
jewellers "77 Diamonds", told the BBC that the
stone was exceptional.
"It's the largest pink diamond ever found in the
history of humankind. It's an incredible colour to
it.
"And the sheer size of the stone already makes
it so rare and so beautiful."
