“Most Coveted” A 16.9 ct Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond

flawless 16.92 carat vivid yellow diamond

A flawless 16.92 carat vivid yellow diamond was unveiled last week at Jewellery & Gem World Hong Kong.

Mumbai based Venus Jewel says the radiant shaped natural diamond is one of the “most coveted diamonds” it has released in its 55 year history.

It was cut from a 28.78 carat rough stone. Natural vivid yellow colored diamonds are extremely rare. One out of approximately 10,000 carats mined is a natural fancy color diamond. Of those only a small percentage are fancy vivid, the highest grading for color saturation and brilliance.

“We are delighted to present the Yellow Lava, a true testament to our craftsmanship, energy and dynamism,” said Rajesh Shah, a partner in the company.

“The name Yellow Lava is derived from its evenly distributed vivid yellow color and flawless clarity.”

Holly Ramsay Perfect Yellow Diamond Engagement Ring from Adam Peaty

Congratulations are in order for Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly, and her partner Adam Peaty.

The couple announced the news of their engagement on Thursday, Sept. 12, with an Instagram post filled with romantic couple’s photos and close-ups of Holly’s unique ring.

Peaty, a 29 year old swimmer and Olympic gold medalist, worked with Pragnell on the rock, which boasts a large yellow diamond on a gold band. On his Instagram Stories, the athlete revealed the ring took 10 months to come together.

“I trusted you with my vision and you delivered,” he wrote over a picture of Holly wearing the sparkler. “It’s perfect.”

In the carousel of snapshots, Holly wore a white bikini top and baby pink manicure, which complemented the colorful gemstone.

Proud dad Gordon, 57, shared well wishes to his 24 year old on Instagram.

“Congratulations to this gorgeous girl hollyramsayy. So happy for you and adam_peaty ! Hols, watching you become the woman you are today with your kindness and your love is absolutely infectious. Adam is a very lucky man! Welcome to the family,” he wrote.

Holly and Peaty became Instagram official on July 10, 2023, and in her engagement post on Instagram, she expressed how excited she is to wed her “best friend.”

“I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. I still remember how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you,” she wrote.

“Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you & I cannot wait to be your wife.”

45 Carat yellow diamond could fetch $3.5m

45 Carat yellow diamond could fetch $3.5m

A 45.07 carat fancy vivid yellow diamond is forecast to sell for $2.8m to $3.5m at Phillips New York on Wednesday (12 June).

It leads the New York Jewels Auction, featuring colored diamonds and gemstones, period jewelry, and signed jewels by Cartier, Bulgari, and Van Cleef & Arpels.

The square emerald-cut VS1-clarity stone has classic step-cut faceting, considered an unusual choice to best show off the color and draw out the illusion of greater saturation.

The Fancy Color Research Foundation (FCRF) gives the diamond a total visual score of 11 out of 12, based on inner grade (3), color dispersion (4) and undertone (4), noting that despite its depth percentage, excellent polish and symmetry grades, its visual presence translates to “a diamond appearing smaller in carat weight”.

The diamond will realize $77,657 per carat if it hits its high estimate. In March a 15.51-carat VS2 fancy vivid yellow diamond sold for $1.14m – $73,253 per carat – at Phillips Hong Kong Jewels Auction, beating its low estimate.

73ct. Yellow to Shine at Sotheby’s New York Sale

                            73.11 carat yellow diamond

Sotheby’s will offer a fancy-vivid-yellow diamond ring at its New York sale next month, estimating the piece could fetch up to $3 million.

The cut-cornered square step-cut, 73.11-carat, VS2-clarity jewel by Mayfair designer Glenn Spiro, called The Sienna Star, is one of the largest fancy-vivid-yellow diamonds to come to auction, Sotheby’s said Wednesday. The piece is one of the top items at the June 9 Magnificent Jewels sale. The auction will feature jewelry for the “Roaring Twenties 2.0” as people return to the social scene following long lockdowns, Sotheby’s noted.

A private collection of six jewels with a combined estimate of more than $13 million are another headline lot at the New York sale. Those include a necklace by Andrew Clunn, set with 28 oval-shaped diamonds totaling over 168 carats, which carries a high estimate of $3 million, and an emerald-cut, 23.59-carat, D-color, internally flawless, type IIa diamond ring with an upper valuation of $2.8 million.

A Colombian emerald and diamond garland necklace by Harry Winston, estimated at up to $2.5 million, and a 13.02-carat Burmese ruby ring, mounted by Carvin French, with a $2 million high valuation, are also part of the collection. Proceeds from the sale of those six items will be donated to charity.

Additionally, Sotheby’s will showcase a Bulgari ring with a 25.29-carat Kashmir sapphire flanked by diamonds, which it expects will bring in up to $3 million. Meanwhile, a modified square brilliant-cut, 3.75-carat, fancy-intense-pink, VVS1-clarity diamond ring, accented by triangle-shaped and round diamonds, is estimated to fetch up to $2.5 million.

The auction house will present jewels from the collection of philanthropist Margaret Jonsson Rogers, the daughter of Texas Instruments founder and Dallas mayor J. Erik Jonsson, as well as property from the estate of Mary Ethel Weinmann, the daughter of Count and Countess André de Limur, it added.

6.70 ct Zimmi Yellow Diamond could Fetch $700,000

 

A rare 6.70-carat VS1 natural fancy deep yellow diamond from the famous Zimmi mine, in Sierra Leone, could fetch as much as $705,000 at auction.

Canary yellow diamonds from Zimmi can command double the price of other fancy yellows because of their uniquely high color saturation levels. Yellow Zimmi stones over five carats are extremely rare.

This gem will lead the Tiancheng International Jewellery and Jadeite Autumn Auction 2020 in Hong Kong on 28 November.

Also at the sale is a pair of Zimmi natural fancy deep yellow diamond earrings 3.03 carat and 3.01 carat with an estimate of up to $320,000.

The Zimmi mine is in the heart of the rainforest region of Sierra Leone where the Mano river marks the border with Liberia.

Yellow diamonds occur when a single nitrogen atom replaces a carbon atom, absorbing the violet and blue light.
