You won’t believe how much the most expensive pieces of Jewelry cost. The first faceted gemstones we know of were made in Europe in the late 13th century. Since then, humanity’s love affair with wearing all things sparkly and rare from the earth has only increased. Once accessible only to Royalty, outrageously expensive jewelry is now available to any common millionaire or billionaire. https://list25.com/25-most-expensive-pieces-of-jewelry-remake/ lalasticlala mynd44 The Hope Diamond The Hope Diamond is probably one of the most well known gemstones on the planet.

The Patiala Necklace Created by House of Cartier in 1928, the Patiala Necklace was made from the ruling Maharaja of the state of Patiala. It contained nearly THREE THOUSAND diamonds (which are also a Maharaja’s best friend, apparently) including the “De Beers” diamond, the seventh largest diamond in the world with a cut weight of over 230 carats. The necklace also contained a number of other diamonds between 18 and 73 carats as well as Burmese rubies. Sadly, the necklace disappeared in the late 1940s, and was mostly found over the next 50 years. In 1982 the De Beers diamond showed up at an auction in Geneva and sold for $3.16 million. In 1998, the remaining pieces of the necklace were found in a ravaged state in a secondhand Jewelry shop in London. Most of the large diamonds all the rubies were gone. Cartier bought the necklace and over several years created replicas of the missing stones out of cubic zirconia, and restored it to resemble it’s original state. It is estimated that had the necklace not be broken down, in it’s original state it would have been valued between $25 and $30 Million USD.

The Graff Vivid Yellow The Graff Vivid Yellow is a 100 carat yellow diamond, mounted in a gold band, with… more diamonds (diamonds are like chocolate and coffee -enough is probably enough, but more is also good). Originally a 190 carat rough diamond purchased in South Africa (it was a world record), it took around nine months of cutting to get the gem in it’s current state. It’s worth over $16 million.

La Peregrina is the centerpiece of the elaborate pendant. The necklace was sold by Christie’s auction house for $11.8 Million USD in 2011.

Oval shaped Jubilee Ruby The most expensive colored (non diamond) gemstone sold in the United States was sold at Christie’s New York in April of 2016 for $14.2 Million dollars. The oval shaped Jubilee Ruby is set in 18 karat cold and platinum, and comes in at just under 16 carats. Note: if you’re wondering what the technical difference between a diamond and a gemstone is, the answer is…the market! Diamonds – the kind most people buy, anyway – in general are artificially inflated the world over. They’re literally so expensive because the market is controlled to keep them so expensive. Same with the difference between Diamonds and Gemstones. People will pay more for diamonds so..diamonds cost more.
