Magnificent Blue Diamond going for Auction at Christies Geneva May 14th
I remember the first time I saw a Blue Diamond, It was about three carats and it was Cushion Shape Diamond. I had been in the Diamond Industry for several years already and had seen beautiful important large diamonds. I had even seen Fancy Intense Yellow Diamonds over 10 carats. But there was something about that Blue Diamond. You can say it is because I love Blue and anyone who knows me, knows that. From my signature Blue Topaz Cocktail Ring that I have been wearing almost daily for many years, or my Blue summer wardrobe, blue is soothing, appealing and is still somewhat of a neutral.
The gorgeous diamond and Sapphire Jewelry we offer and the summer hues of the Blue Topaz and Diamond Jewelry.
This stunning Blue Diamond also known as the Golconda Blue Diamond boasts 23.24 carats, as a diamond connoisseur there is no way I could give up not sharing this exquisite diamond ring.
The Golconda Blue is a 23.24-carat, pear-shaped, fancy vivid blue diamond that's making headlines due to its historic provenance and upcoming auction. It's estimated to sell for between $35 million and $50 million, potentially becoming the most expensive diamond ever sold at auction.
