Beautiful Diamond

[JewelFreak]

Too much not to share! If you haven't checked Christies Hong Kong Magnificent Jewels auction catalogue, you missed this.





90.8 cts, GIA: VVS2, W to X range, light brown, Type IIa. Cut from rough weighing 268.79, which produced this plus a smaller heart-shaped diamond. No info given on origin. Pics of it during cutting: http://christies.scene7.com/s7/broc...set&locale=en&image=Christies/HGK3268_SaleCat

It has been mounted by William Goldberg in the necklace below. Estimate $3 million to 4.5 million.

well now I feel utterly inadequate.

That regal ruby had a regal window.

some of that jadeite makes me swoon

Made me feel pure greed, VL. Could have walked away with that gigantic sapphire too. Not to mention the ruby swag Etcetera necklace -- I'd wear that puppy even in the shower!

You say that now, but you would only take bubble baths if you had that puppy.

Bubble milk baths, frappe baths, at least.

I don't want it, too brown.

Seriously, it's really beautiful.

 

[FrekeChild]

It makes me think of hot chocolate with marshmallows AND whipped cream. Pure decadence.

Wow, I wish I could see it sparkle in person.

 

[Indylady]

So pretty, and HUGE. My goodness.

I am only jealous because I will never be able to wear them, much less see any of these pieces in person. Gorgeous!
