Christie's to auction a 13.5ct fancy vivid pink diamond ring

Christie’s is proud to present one of the finest fancy vivid pink emerald-cut diamonds ever to be offered at auction which will be part of the Magnificent Jewels sale on 6 December, at Rockefeller Center during Luxury Week. The Fancy Vivid Pink Diamond Ring (estimate: US $25,000,000-35,000,000) is set with an impressive 13.15 carat VVS1 clarity, potentially Internally Flawless diamond. The appearance on the market of a pink diamond of this caliber is a phenomenon in the world of rare diamonds. In the fancy vivid pink range, a diamond of more than six carats is rarely encountered and for context, less than 10 percent of pink diamonds weigh more than just one fifth of a carat.

With its extraordinary weight of 13.15 carats, this Fancy Vivid Pink Diamond Ring ranks as one of the most important colored diamonds ever to appear on the market. The Winston Pink Legacy achieved $50,375,000, and at the time set a world-record price per carat for a pink diamond sold at auction.

Rahul Kadakia, International Head of Christie’s Jewellery: “Following the success of The Fortune Pink, which achieved almost $30 million last week in Geneva, we are proud to have been approached by a private collector to offer this incredible diamond at auction in December.  This season has seen outstanding results for fancy-colored diamonds and this particular fancy vivid pink is of the highest caliber.  With impressive saturation, step-cut facets and a clarity grade of potentially Internally Flawless, this 13.15 carat fancy vivid pink is magnificently rare.”

This Fancy Vivid Pink Diamond Ring will be on view; New York from 14 November to 15 November; Hong Kong from 25 November to 28 November and presented in New York from 2 December to 5 December.
