30.10-Carat Light Pink Diamond was Sold at Bonhams for $2.6 million

This 30.10-carat exceptionally light pink diamond was sold at Bonhams last week

for $2.6 million, or $87,163 per carat.

Hong Kong—A very light pink colored diamond weighing more than 30 carats was the highlight of Bonhams’ recent Hong Kong Jewels & Jadeite sale.

The 30.10-carat, VVS2 loose stone sold for $2.6 million (or $87,163 per carat) against an estimate of $1.5 million to $2.3 million.

The rare diamond, pictured at the top of the article, is a Type IIa, meaning it is chemically pure, and features a brilliant round cut, which, due to its high percentage of waste, is not typically chosen for colored diamonds.

It was offered from the property of a prestigious Asian collector, where it was kept in the same private collection for more than 50 years.

Other fancy colored diamond pieces also did well at the sale.

A three-stone ring (below) featuring a fancy pink diamond, fancy deep yellow diamond, and fancy intense yellow-green diamond, sold for HK$2.5 million ($326,852 at current exchange rates), more than four times its estimate of HK$600,000 to $1.2 million ($77,088 to $154,175).

3 stone ring set with a 2.27carat fancy pink diamond center stone with

a fancy 2.08 carat fancy deep yellow diamond and a 2.25 carat fancy intense

yellow-green diamond sold for USD $326,852.

The 160-lot jewelry auction, which occurred as part of Bonham’s inaugural sales at its new Asia headquarters, took place on Nov. 28th and achieved HK$69 million ($8.9 million). "We are absolutely delighted with the sale results, which reflect the quality of the pieces offered and the continued strong demand for colored diamonds and gemstones,” said Stewart Young, Bonhams director of jewelry and head of jewelry, Asia. “Particularly noteworthy is the outstanding result achieved for the exceptional 30.10-carat exceptionally light pink round brilliant-cut diamond, a true rarity in carat weight, color, and cut. It was exciting to present the remarkable colored diamond at auction.”

Argenti Designer Jewelers Creates Jewelry Designs With Mined Diamonds And Lab Grown Diamonds. This Depends On The Clients Request.

Information Below About Lab Grown Diamonds

Mark Silver at Argenti Designer Jewelers designs in both mined and lab grown diamonds. Both diamond collections of bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings are available in solid 14K yellow or white gold.

Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds with the same crystal structure, chemical composition, and physical properties as the mined rocks, their carbon atoms are arranged in a cubic crystal structure.

With the advancement in technology through the years, our lab-grown diamonds have the same crystal structure, chemical composition and physical properties as mined diamonds.

Lab Grown Diamond is the same as a mined diamond and an affordable luxury for all.

These diamonds are grown in labs, with advanced technological processes that stimulate and create the same conditions under which mined diamonds develop when they form in the mantle, beneath the Earth’s crust.

Lab grown diamonds looks exactly the same as mined diamonds, and the only difference is the origin of the creation. One being mined from the inner Earth and the other created in labs.

The lab diamonds are more environmentally friendly and an option to purchasing mined diamonds.

Lab Grown Diamonds Process

The easy process of creating a lab grown diamond begins with a thin slice of diamond seed that is placed in a sealed chamber. The chamber is filled with carbon rich-gas, such as Methane, and are ionized into plasma using lasers/microwaves technologies. Then the molecular bonds in the gases are broken and the pure carbon slowly crystallizes and sticks to the diamond seed. This process will take between 6-10 weeks to form a lab grown diamond.

We have laser-inscribed certification numbers on larger lab diamonds that are visible under a microscope.

In addition, our mined diamonds are graded and certified by GIA – Gemological Institute of America

as our assurance of excellent quality.
