40ct. yellow diamond, IF...yours for just USD2.2 million

I feel like there's no possible way that can be a real color. Could it actually be THAT saturated? Unlikely! But beautiful anyway!

Can someone link the video?

My pad is very saturated. Heat treated but no other enhancements.

Different lighting settings, but it looks like it might have a bit more orange? Plus its unheated.

Do you prefer the size or the peacock color? I still prefer the 2.50 from Madagascar.

Oh yeah this is waaaaaaay over budget anyways!!! Just for fun. For right now - totally agree that the 2.5 from Madagascar is the fun electric blue I am hunting for and I love that color!

When I am looking for a large, deep, sultry blue and happen have an excess of $30k in my pocket - this is what I would buy

Maybe it's just me but the blue diamond OEC looks like a CAD rendition.

Could be, plsu it looks rather light in tone for a deep blue. Not sure what the grading of the following diamond is, but maybe the color is closer to this OEC?

For the aqua-loving lotto winner, how about this 1318 ct piece? Clearly it would need a halo..

Bonhams : Impressive Aquamarine--The 1000 Carats Club

Brazil This fabulous emerald-cut aquamarine originated from a very large single crystal. But, as anyone who is familiar with the species of beryl, aquamarines of larger size are typically highly included and near opaque. Therefore to have a large sized stone of this transparency is unheard of...

(There’s actually a spess suite in another lot thats tasty, but might not require the mega-millions ticket to afford)

Ok, not the best color by trade standards, but the shape and design of the ring is so so so gorgeous! Does not hurt either the sapphire is over 21 carats, and original Art Deco setting to boot (I’ve a terrible weakness for authentic Art Deco, my knees buckled at this ring).

Yours for a mere $70k USD.

21.36 Carat Certified Unheated Blue Ceylon Sapphire and 1 Carat Diamond Ring

This antique Art Deco ring is breathtaking. It features a jaw-dropping 21.36 carat certified, unheated Blue Ceylon Sapphire. The Sapphire has been certified by GCS stating Ceylon (Sri Lanka), no heat. The certificate will be provided with the ring. There are really no words to describe this...

Looks too big and too long. On the finger shots, it's halfway up to the knuckle.

Not gonna sell anytime soon, imo.

To each their own, but I would manage to wear it anyhow.

I was going to say something originally about not being too big/long for some, but somehow maybe that sort of wording might have an unintended smutty undertone to it

Anyhoo, if I had that much $$$ to frivolously throw at a ring, I probably don’t need to bend my knuckles or use my hands on a daily basis.

On a separate note, I’m not liking the side profile. Is it normal for the culet to poke out a little like this? (I know some folks believe that it’s auspicious to have a stone actually touch the skin, but honestly cannot tell if that’s the purpose here, or if the setting is just a tad short for the hunk of sapphire.)

It is beautiful but the design leaves the sapphire unprotected. So easy to chip those unprotected corners and you are right, the culet should not be poking out and touching the skin.

Probably not everyone's "grail" color of pad, but it is mine!

@Lilith112 this reminds me of your pad search!

Sadly its 10ct and the price is commensurate with that

LOL anything 10 carats is super beyond my reach too - unless it's basically semi precious

That's what PS is for - ogling and living vicariously!

TDF 10.63ct neon Brazilian paraiba tourmaline set by VCA in a bow ring with diamonds and purple sapphire estimate is 90k-150k CHF? I had expected it to be priced higher to be honest. Bidding starts May 11, no way I can afford it, but we shall see what that ring fetches!

While not as jaw-dropping as some of the gems posted here, I came across an extremely rare gem. An over 1 carat colorless, round cut benitoite. Yes the asking price is about as much as a D IF diamond with strong fluorescence. But you're not gonna find one like this easily if at all. If I had the means, I would make an offer (since in my opinion its overpriced)
