World’s Largest Flawless Vivid Blue Diamond May Sell for $25 Million

Forbes reported that “The Blue,” which Christie’s says is the biggest flawless vivid blue diamond in the world, will be leading the auction house’s Geneva Magnificent Jewels sale on May 14.

The gem is 13.22 carats and is expected to sell for between $21 and $25 million.

As quoted in the market news:

The 250 lot sale includes several statement diamonds, rare natural pearl necklaces, private collections and signed jewels. It is estimated to fetch a total of $80 million, Christie’s said.

Another highlight of the sale is what the auction house is calling the largest fancy vivid blue-green diamond in the world to come to auction. Known as ‘The Ocean Dream,’ the 5.50-carat gem has an estimate of $7.5 to $9.5 million. ‘The combination of its size, natural origin, hue, and saturated color makes it an extremely unusual occurrence,’ Christie’s said in a statement.
