The most expensive diamond ever sold at auction
Awarded 61.65 million euros, or more than one million per carat.
Yesterday evening at Sothebys in Geneva, we witnessed a new world record. The most expensive diamond in the world ever sold! It is the Pink Star, a pink diamond of 59.60 carats, “fancy vivid pink” with maximum purity “internally flawless”.
In the colour intensity classification of pink diamonds, “fancy vivid pink” is the highest grade.
Pink is a rare colour in diamonds, and pure pink diamonds are even rarer. Sold for 61.65 million euros, or more than a million per carat, this is an absolute record for a diamond sold at auction.
