Christie’s has announced The Fortune Pink, an 18.18 carat pear-shaped fancy vivid pink diamond, will lead the Geneva Magnificent Jewels sale on 8 November 2022, as part of Christie’s Luxury Week.
The exceptionally rare gemstone is the largest pear-shaped fancy vivid pink diamond ever to be offered for sale at auction. To-date the largest vivid pink diamond sold at Christie’s was the 18.96 carat Winston Pink Legacy, which achieved CHF 50,375,000 and set a world record price per carat for a pink diamond sold at auction.
It is expected to fetch between $25 and $35m (£23m and £32m).
Rahul Kadakia, Christie’s international head of jewellery, said: “After The Rock, a 228 carat diamond sold this May in Geneva, Christie’s is proud to present The Fortune Pink, the largest pear-shaped fancy vivid pink diamond offered for sale at auction. With its auspicious weight of 18.18 carats this exceptional pink diamond of phenomenal colour will certainly bring good fortune to its new owner.”
