Sotheby's Geneva will offer a magnificent 84.37 carat, brilliant-cut, D (finest white,) flawless, diamond for auction during its Magnificent Jewels in Geneva on November 14. The diamond (pictured) is the largest brilliant-cut diamond of top quality to appear at auction and is estimated at $12-16 million (CHF 15-20 million.) In addition to its extraordinary features, the diamond has also received the highest possible grading from the GIA with the report (No. 15692749) listing the stone with D-color, Flawless Clarity, and "excellent" polish and symmetry.
Sotheby’s stated the impressive diamond doesn't have a name, but the future owner would hold the privilege. Sotheby’s Geneva has in the past sold "named" diamonds, including the Star of the Season (100.10cts,) which was sold for $16.5 million way back in May 1995. It remains the most expensive jewel ever to have been sold at auction.
