24-Carat Bulgari Pink Sells for $14.6 Million

Christie’s sold the 24-carat Bulgari Pink, an emerald-cut fancy intense pink diamond ring, for 12.1 million Swiss francs—more than $14.6 million—at its Geneva jewelry auction. The price fell within the estimated range. Believed to originate from India’s Golconda region, the diamond had remained in the same European family’s private possession since it was acquired in the 1950s and had not been shown publicly for more than seven decades. Christie’s described the exceptionally rare stone as the “Mona Lisa of pink diamonds.”
