BONHAMS TO AUCTION A $1 MILLION 5.03-CARAT PINK DIAMOND

Later this month (September 26) Bonhams London will auction what it calls “an exceedingly rare and exceptionally beautiful fine Fancy Pink diamond”, weighing 5.03 carats. According to Bonhams, the square-cut Fancy Pink diamond, of VS1 clarity, is estimated at £600,000-800,000 ($774,500 – $1,032,676).

 

Emily Barber, Director of Jewellery at Bonhams UK, said that the stone “possesses an exceptional combination of characteristics” – a pure pink diamond, of even saturation, with no secondary component colours, weighing over 5.00 carats. She added that “this diamond’s significant size and elegant, unmodified square cut, coupled with its high clarity grade distinguishes it further […]”.

 

The auction, which will include 139 lots, will also include a fancy-colored three-diamond ring from 1910, as well as a selection of bracelets, necklaces, brooches and rings from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari and Chopard.
