WORLD’S
LARGEST AND FLAWLESS BLUE DIAMOND TO FETCH UP
TO $25 MILLION AT GENEVA AUCTION
The fancy vivid blue pear-shaped diamond with
internal flawless clarity ‘The Blue’ will take centre stage at the annual
Christie’s Magnificient Jewels sale to be held next month at the Four Seasons
Hotel des Bergues in Geveva.
The blue diamond weighing approximately 13.22
carats is the largest flawless blue diamond in the world. It is also flanked on
either side by a pear-shaped diamond, weighing approximately 1.00 and 0.96
carat. Christie auction describes it as “the largest fancy vivid blue diamond
in the world.”
The auction house has not revealed the
diamond’s owner to keep the private seller anonymous.
The Blue is expected to rake in approximately
$25 million. When the world’s largest orange diamond, a 14.82-carat gem called
“The Orange”, went under the hammer last November at Christie’s, it raked in
$35.5 million compared to its $17-20 million price tag.
