Christie’s New York Magnificent Jewels Auction In December Sells Blue Diamonds
The auction house sold a total of $67,519,625. The auction house offered 450 items for sale, and ended up selling three blue diamonds.
The 1.58 carat, Fancy Blue, round diamond with a VS2 clarity was estimated to be sold between $200k and $300k but ended selling for $975,000 or $617k per carat. Even tough it is a round diamond, this price per carat is quite steep. I wonder if the buyer thinks it can be upgraded into a Fancy Intense Blue…

The 3.07 carat, Fancy Vivid Blue diamond with a VVS1 clarity, was offered between $3 million to $4 million. it ended up selling for $3,375,000 or $1.1 million per carat. This is a very low price for such a diamond, but the color must have been weak and closer to an Intense Blue. This was the top selling lot for Fancy Color Diamonds that day.
