New record price per carat for a diamond or gemstone – Pink diamonds are the rarest gemstones
A rarity of incomparable beauty pink diamond was sold at auction yesterday Friday in Hong Kong for nearly $58 million, a new record price per carat for a diamond or gemstone, according to auction house Sotheby’s.
The 11.15-carat “Williamson Pink Star” sold for HK$453.2 million, or $57.7 million, the second-highest price for any gem sold at auction, Sotheby’s said.
The highest bid, by a buyer from Boca Raton, Florida (USA) whose identity was not disclosed, is double the estimated sale price of $21 million.
This gem was the second largest pink diamond ever sold at auction. Pink diamonds are the rarest gemstones, and have the highest demand in the world market.
The record for a pink diamond was set in 2017 when the “CTF Pink Star” was sold in Hong Kong for 71.2 million dollars.
