They just did the most expensive
Diamonds investment at Sotheby's Auction and bought a Rare Blue Six-Carat
Diamond breaking a 20 year Record. Bidding for the emerald-cut 6.04 carat
diamond lasted eight minutes.
The stone sold for $1.32m per carat, easily beating the previous record of
$926,000 per carat.
It
is not the first important color diamond they
bought, they are also well known for having the spectacular moussaieff
red diamond gem that was cut from a 13.90-carat roughand transformed
into a red diamond weighing 5.11 carats. The GIA states, "It is the largest
Fancy Red, natural color diamond that we have graded as of the date the report
was issued." The stone is a triangular brilliant, sometimes refered to as a
trillion or a trilliant cut. It was cut sometime in the mid-1990s, so its
history is still relatively uneventful. Sometime around 2001 or 2002 the stone
was purchased by Moussaieff Jewellers Ltd. The firm, while it has no website as
of yet, is renowned for multi-million dollar pieces of jewelry and has locations
in the United States as well as abroad.
Michael Hing, a gemologist in Great Britain, was shown the stone in person in
London sometime around 2002. "It’s a really suprising cranberry colour,
quite unlike any other diamond I’ve ever seen".
Sotheby's
Hong Kong hosted the autumn auctioning, where a rare vivid blue diamond ring
was sold for US $7.98 million. Most strikingly, it set a new per carat record
price for any gemstone sold at auction.
Shaped in an emerald cut, which is set aside only for the purest diamond in the
world, the gleaming blue ring weighs nearly 6.04 carat.
London based Mrs Aliza Moussaief of Moussaief Jewellers was the lucky bidder to
take the piece home.
The ring was on offer since 2004 and comprises the largest and the most unique
blue diamond. So much so, that the last record made by any gemstone weighing in
equal carats was about 20 years ago.
With the rising demand for colored diamonds among fashionistas, pink diamonds
and other colored stones are monopolizing the jewel market.
