Dazzling Ring Up For Bids At Bonhams
Monday, September 6th, 2010The 6-carat pure white diamond £200,000 ring will be auctioned at the Bonham’s Fine Jewellery auction slated to take place sometime this month. This auction is expected to be an exceptional one and this art deco ring is to be the stunning centrepiece of the show.
This is a Type IIa diamond and is said to be absolutely brilliant and transparent. The diamond weighs 6.82 carats and is an Asscher-cut one and is said to be flawless with a VVS2 clarity. This is one diamond that is all white – no traces of yellow or any other colour – just what traditionally great diamonds are supposed to be.
Also up for bids at this auction will be Henry Philip Hope’s rare catalogue which was published way back in 1839 where his whole collection of diamonds and pearls and other jewellery has been documented. The catalogue also contains details about the Hope Diamond as well as the Hope Pearl.
