Will The Pink Panther Diamond Engagement Ring Fetch The Most Money Ever?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Will 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.

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

It’s a unique, rare diamond and it comes in an unusual shade of pink. It has been put up for sale by a private collector who has owned it for over six decades. The diamond weighs nearly 25 carats and is expected to sell for anything around £23,000. It will be auctioned next month by Sotheby’s in Geneva.

Sixty years ago, the famous New York jeweller, Harry Winston sold this wonderful diamond and now after all this time, it has surfaced to be sold again. The diamond is cut in the emerald style with the edges being rounded a bit. It is said that there has been some wear and tear to the stone because of which there is a flaw in it but it is so small, it cannot be noticed. It probably won’t be at all visible after the diamond has been repolished. It is also quite likely the diamond will be listed and described as flawless.

The colour of the diamond has been classified as a ‘fancy intense pink’ and it is sure to generate a lot of interest and a lot of buyers bidding for it. There are so many people from around the world today who would give anything to possess such a rare jewel.

Jennifer Lopez Goes Beyond Diamond Rings To Diamond Suit

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

She’s been known for her diamond rings, especially that huge pink diamond rock that Ben Affleck gave her. She’s one lady who loves her diamonds and there’s usually a lot of bling she decks herself with. Well, she’s just gone one better now and she was seen with a diamond encrusted catsuit on. This was at Dick Clark’s Rockin Eve on New Year’s Eve for the ABC network.

Jennifer Lopez has had a whirl as a singer and an actress. Little wonder her love life was covered by the paparazzi with great gusto as well. This was especially so when after two divorces, she and Ben Affleck got engaged and it looked like they were the made-for-each-other couple in tinsel town. However, they broke off rather dramatically just hours before the wedding was to take place. Today, she’s married to Marc Anthony and they have twins – a girl and a boy who are little under a year old. She’s had a number of hit songs and she’s acted in a number of movies.

Huge Pink Diamond Ring Is Not An Engagement Ring, Says Tara Reid

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Just a birthday gift, that’s all it apparently was. And here was everyone thinking that Tara Reid was engaged – the giant pink diamond rock seemed to advertise it. However, she denied it and says that it is a generous birthday present from her current boyfriend Michael Axtmann. She acknowledges that he gave it to her but that it did not mean an engagement yet. Does the ‘yet’ mean that they could be getting engaged sometime soon?

In the meantime, she’s waiting for the Playboy magazine in which she features to be out. She says that thanks to a professional female photographer she never felt uncomfortable being photographed for the magazine. The issue is slated to be released sometime in January. Will another ring be on her finger the same time that happens?

‘Vivid Pink’ Diamond Ring Auction Generates Great Interest

Monday, November 9th, 2009

At the Christie’s December 1st Hong King Sale of Extraordinary Jewels this year, there’s going to be a lot of interest to see who is going to walk away with this fabulous diamond ring. The ring has one of the highest priced diamonds set in it – a rare pink diamond that is 5 carats and its estimated value is between £3 and over 4 million. Named the ‘Vivid Pink’ it is said to be the biggest fancy pink diamond to ever be auctioned.

The unstated guess is that it will be snapped up by a Chinese buyer. Whether it is fine wines, jewellery or art, the Chinese new breed of super rich people are buying it all up. In fact, in most cases they are outbidding both the US and Europe at most of these auctions. Last years it looked like this dream run had come to an end but with the stock market prices flying once more in many parts of Asia, the market for luxury and rare items has jumped again.

From A 3-Carat Pink Diamond Engagement Ring To A Neil Lane Wedding Band

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Soon after the California Supreme Court lifted the ban on same sex marriages, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi announced their plans to get married. It was a very short time later that Portia was seen wearing a pink diamond engagement ring on her finger. And what a ring it was! It was a marquise cut diamond, all of 3 carats set in a band of pink pave. It was at the Daytime Emmy Awards function that it was first noticed.

And now we hear that they are married. They had just the very close family members with a few close friends around. They have been together since 2004, sharing a huge place at Cabrillo Drive in Los Angeles, USA. The famous talk show host and the actress of Ally McBeal fame exchanged wedding rings by Neil Lane as well as vows that were handwritten.

Ellen DeGeneres is 50 and Portia de Rossi is 35. Ellen has won four Outstanding Talk Show awards, has her own show on TV and has hosted the Oscars. She and Portia have been happy together for years and the Court ruling must have made them ecstatic knowing they could now publicly proclaim their love to the world.
