The most expensive diamond ever sold at auction

by Julie MIALET on Jul 13, 2015

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.
