Will The Pink Panther Diamond Engagement Ring Fetch The Most Money Ever?
Thursday, October 28th, 2010Will it be the most expensive diamond to be sold is the question and one will have to wait till the middle of next month to know for sure. What most people are guessing is that it will be sold for around £24 million. This might seem like a lot of money but one must remember that the Pink Panther is something that will be prized by collectors and the news is that there are a number of them lining up to do the bidding.
So what does the Pink Panther look like for those who haven’t seen pictures of it? It is a rare pink diamond and is one of the most flawless diamonds known to exist. It is 25 carats in weight and Harry Winston, the famous jeweller was the one who designed it. It has come into the market after six decades of being owned by a private, anonymous collector. The ring is made of silver and there are two diamonds flanking this stunning diamond which has its colour classified as ‘fancy intense pink’. Sotheby’s is so excited that it is going to pass through their hands and they are looking forward to the auction with excitement.
To date, the most expensive diamond ring sold was the Wittelsbach diamond for £16.3 million and that was 35 carats in weight. This one looks like it is going to exceed that when it comes to what it will fetch. The auction will be held in Geneva next month.
