In the world of precious gemstones there is nothing quite like watching the fine Gemstones auctions of Sotheby's and Christie's. Over the years they have sold some incredibly rare and beautiful gemstones to the rich and famous. This article is going to be a living document that we will update over time. It will track the biggest sales, the world records and the excitement of what goes on in these auctions.
There are two main figures that people get excited about with gemstones. That is the total sale price and the price per carat. Some gemstone like Red Diamonds are incredibly rare and relatively small but they demand a huge price per carat. Other gemstones like Sapphire can be huge and sell for massive prices.
The beautiful 18.96-carat fancy vivid Pink Legacy Diamond has broken the world record price per carat for a pink diamond in a matter of moments. Attendees said that the sale was easily the standout offering at Christie’s fall jewellery auction in Geneva.
It sold for $50 million USD, so the Pink Legacy Diamond now holds the world record price per carat at $2.6 million USD per carat, a whopping $1.4 million USD more than the previous record.
Previously held by the sale of The Pink Star Diamond earlier in 2017, which sold for $71.2 million to Hong Kong-based jewelry retailer Chow Tai Fook, the world record title and diamond is now owned by renowned jeweller, Harry Winston. Following the auction, the diamond was promptly renamed The Winston Pink Legacy by its new owners.
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the new world record breaker: The Pink Star Diamond is a stunning 59.60-carat fancy vivid pink diamond that sold for $71.2 million to Hong Kong-based jewelry retailer Chow Tai Fook. That makes the price-per-carat over $1.19 million USD.
It took just 5 minutes of intense bidding for this Diamond to break the world for the most expensive gemstone ever sold at auction. The new owner used his initials to rename the stone "CTF Pink" after the sale.
The Pink Star Diamond took 2 years to cut after the best gem cutters in the world studied it to reveal the best possible gemstone. It was auctioned last year for $83 million USD; however, the buyer of the gemstone was not able to complete the payment. It has been in Sotheby's inventory ever since.
Gemstones are undoubtedly the most concentrated form of wealth. Think about the current world record for price per carat. It is held by the Blue Moon Diamond coming in at $4 million per carat. For every gram of blue Diamond there is $20 million in wealth. It is portable and small enough to be hidden. Gemstones really are an incredible vessel for wealth.
The most expensive gemstones in the world and the ones that are most often traded are Diamonds, Sapphire and Rubies. Until recently the magic $1 million per carat mark was only achieved by colored Diamonds. With the sale of the Sunrise Ruby the beautiful red gemstone has joined the exclusive club.

These gemstones are not your typical stone that you would find in your local Jewelry store. To give you an idea the red Diamond is so rare that only a handful exist. Blue Diamonds are also rare but they do come in larger sizes which means buyers get both rarity and size.
The Rubies such as the Sunrise Ruby are becoming more and more valuable. With the rise of China as a superpower the demand for red colored gemstones has sharply increased. Lets take a closer look at some of the stars.

人們對寶石感到興奮的主要因素有兩個。那就是總銷售價格和每克拉價格。像“ 紅色鑽石”這樣的寶石非常稀有且相對較小,但每克拉的價格卻很高。 藍寶石之類的其他寶石可能很大,而且價格昂貴。
精美的18.96克拉絢麗鮮彩粉紅色傳統鑽石在短短時間內就打破了粉紅色鑽石每克拉的世界紀錄。與會者說,此次拍賣很容易成為佳士得在日內瓦秋季珠寶拍賣會上的佼佼者。它以超過5,000萬美元的價格售出,現在的粉紅遺產鑽石保持著每克拉世界紀錄的價格為260萬美元,高達500美元,比以前的記錄高出000。該鑽石曾由世界著名珠寶商哈里·溫斯頓(Harry Winston)擁有,此前曾於2017年初以The Pink Star Diamond的價格出售,並以7,120萬美元的價格賣給了香港珠寶零售商周大福(Chow Tai Fook)。拍賣後,鑽石被新所有者迅速重命名為Winston Pink Legacy。

在世界上最好的寶石切割師對粉紅之星鑽石進行研究以揭示可能的最佳寶石之後,它花了2年的時間進行切割。去年它以8300萬美元的價格拍賣,但寶石的買家未能完成付款。此後一直在蘇富比庫存中。
寶石無疑是財富的最集中形式。考慮一下當前的每克拉價格世界紀錄。它由Blue Moon Diamond持有,每克拉價格為400萬美元。每克藍色鑽石有2,000萬美元的財富。它是便攜式的,小到可以隱藏。寶石確實是令人難以置信的財富工具。

最好的最好的這些寶石不是您在當地珠寶店中可以找到的典型寶石。為了讓您有個好主意,紅色鑽石非常罕見,只有極少數存在。藍色鑽石也很罕見,但它們的尺寸更大,這意味著買家會感到稀有和規模。 紅寶石(如Sunrise Ruby)變得越來越有價值。隨著中國成為超級大國的崛起,對紅色寶石的需求急劇增加。讓我們仔細看一些星星。 藍月亮鑽石
