A rare pink diamond to be sold by Sotheby’s
All about the cushion cut diamond that was unearthed in Angola
Estimated to garner between $20 million-16 million Swiss Franc, the diamond is named after its luminous and pure pink colour. (Source: PR Handout) Months after Sotheby’s sold The Mediterranean Blue diamond for $21.5 million in May, the auction house will bring The Glowing Rose — a 10.08-carat cushion brilliant-cut vivid pink diamond — under the hammer at its ‘High Jewelry’ sale to be held in Geneva on November 12.
Estimated to garner between $20 million-16 million Swiss Franc, the diamond named after its luminous and pure pink colour will be presented at its pre-auction viewings in a mount designed by British heritage jeweller, Boodles.
Unearthed in Angola, in the diamond-rich Lunda Norte region, this is reportedly the third vivid pink cushion cut diamond over 10 carats to come to market in 10 Years. A note accompanying the lot on the Sotheby’s website states, “The exact cause of the colour in pink diamonds is still not fully understood, further adding to their allure. There is no evidence that the colouration is due to a specific trace element such as nitrogen in yellow diamonds or boron in blue diamonds.
