The Pink Legacy, a rare and exquisite pink diamond weighing nearly 19 carats and boasting the highest color rating of “vivid”, has been unveiled by the prestigious auction house Christie’s, sending ripples of excitement throughout the industry. With an estimated price range of $30 million to $50 million, this stunning gem is expected to set a new record at auction.
Having once been part of the esteemed Oppenheimer collection, the Pink Legacy carries a rich history that only adds to its allure. The Oppenheimer family’s legacy in the diamond industry, particularly their involvement in the growth of De Beers, lends further prestige to this exceptional diamond. It is no surprise that experts are predicting the Pink Legacy to become one of the most valuable diamonds ever to go under the hammer.
Rahul Kadakia, Christie’s international head of jewelry, is eagerly awaiting the auction of the Pink Legacy, anticipating its rightful place among the world’s most extraordinary diamonds. Vivid pink diamonds exceeding 10 carats are incredibly rare at auction, making each new offering a prime opportunity for collectors to acquire a truly exceptional gem. Last year’s sale of “The Pink Promise” for a staggering $32,480,500 only solidified the demand for these mesmerizing diamonds.
Before the auction in Geneva on November 13th, the Pink Legacy will be showcased at exhibitions in Hong Kong, London, and New York. Enthusiasts and collectors will have the chance to marvel at the exquisite beauty of this gem in person, adding to the excitement surrounding its upcoming auction. Christie’s reputation for excellence in fine jewelry auctions is further solidified by the impending sale of the Pink Legacy, poised to make history in the world of high-end diamonds.
