Big Purple-Pink Fails to Sell at Christie’s

“While we were disappointed that the 10-carat purple-pink diamond did not find a buyer, top-quality white, blue, pink, and yellow diamonds fared well,” Rahul Kadakia, head of jewelry for Christie’s Americas, said in a statement.

A cut-cornered rectangular-cut D IF 37.16 ct. diamond was the auction’s top sale, garnering $4.4 million, or $120,000 per carat.
