Recently at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, a significant new benchmark for the diamond market was set, as the extraordinary ‘De Beers Blue’ – a 15.10 step-cut Fancy Vivid Blue diamond, the largest of its kind ever to appear at auction – sold for HK$451 million / US$57.5 million – among the highest prices ever achieved, for diamonds of any colour, on the open market.
Nir Livnat, Chairman, Diacore, said: “Diacore is privileged to have had the opportunity to partner with Sotheby’s in auctioning this incredible stone and congratulates its new owner on purchasing one of Earth’s most magnificent natural treasures. This rare masterpiece has been designed and crafted by Diacore’s special team, which has been creating some of the world’s rarest diamond creations, such as the 59.60-carat CTF Pink Star, the Millennium Blue Collection and many others.”
