Three years ago, Sotheby\u2019s<\/strong>, a famous group of international fine art auction houses, has broken a record thanks to the Graff Pink, a diamond sold for over 34 Million Euros. On the 13th<\/sup> of last November, in Geneva it overtook its own record with a pink diamond, twice bigger than the Graff Pink, named the Pink Star<\/strong>.
\nThe Pink Star was presented for the very first time in 2003 in Monaco under the name of Steinmetz Pink. In 2005-2006, it\u2019s the Natural History Museum of London that won the privilege to exhibit this unique masterpiece. It comes within the exhibition of the 7th<\/sup> most important diamonds around the world in the Smithsonian Institute (Washington D.C) in 2007.<\/p>\n

The Pink Star, one precious stone that breathes uniqueness<\/h2>\n

Composed of 59.6 carats, the Pink Star<\/strong> is a diamond belonging to the \u201cfancy vivid pink\u201d and \u201cinternally flawless\u201d categories. It weights 11.92 grams, representing a price of 5 Million dollars per gram, that is to say one million per carat. The pink diamonds are classified in 5 different colors, according to intensity; \u201cfancy vivid\u201d is the highest color on this scale.
\nThe exceptional diamond Pink Star<\/strong> was awarded for the price of 61.65 Million Euros in Geneva\u2019s auctions, which makes it history\u2019s most expensive precious stone. This fall sale of high-end jewelry is composed of 370 shares, including the fabulous Pink Star<\/strong>, which came with other jewels such as the Briolette Walska or even stones belonging to royalty and aristocratic families.<\/p>\n

A sale reaching peaks<\/h2>\n

It is at the end of a five-minute intense auction that David Bennett, the president of the Sotheby<\/strong> jewelry\u2019s division in Europe and Middle-East, has pulled down his hammer on behalf of the happy owner. Isaac Wolf, a New York\u2019s lapidary, has christened it \u2018Pink Dream\u2019 to engrave it with his own mark. The auctions have started at 39 Million Euros and have, later, raised by one Million at each auction.
\nA day before the auction, an orange \u201cvivid\u201d diamond of 14.82 carats, one of the biggest of its category, was priced at 35.54 Million Dollars by Christie\u2019.<\/p>\n

Absolute treasure, the Pink Star<\/strong> is an extraordinary stone, pure beauty, the grace of a unique jewel.<\/p>\n
