    Record-Setting Diamond

    Posted on September 3rd, 2013 by Joe G

    Feast your eyes on “The Premier Blue!” This rare 7.59 carat diamond is the world’s largest in the Fancy Vivid blue category. The stone is considered to be “internally flawless,” and is the largest round Fancy Vivid to be graded by the Gemological Institute of America.

    No diamond of this size or kind has ever been auctioned worldwide, until now. The gem will be put up for auction at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong October 7th, and is projected to sell for $19 million. If the auction price reaches this estimation, it will achieve a new world record, currently held by Sotheby’s for the 6.01 carat that was auctioned at $1,686,505 per carat in 2011.

    Prior to the auction, the diamond will be put on display in various locations in Asia, Geneva, London, New York and Doha.

    Customer Testimonial

    Had a Great Experience

    I have dealt in coins and metals since the 80s. Had dealings with many dealers. Got scammed by a few. Chicago Gold is the only one I would recommend to my family or friends. Have your valuables appraised by them before you sell.

    I'll be back

    Cashed in some silver coins and received a very fair exchange. Joe and Chris, were very friendly, and comfortable to deal with. Came back with some jewelry, and received a rough appraisal...again no pressure.

    I would do business with them again

    I found the Chicago Gold Gallery to be a very honest and reputable shop. I would highly recommend this store to anyone buying and selling their possessions.
