In 2014 a spectacular orange fancy vivid pear shape diamond mined
in South Africa, weighing 14.82 carats was auctioned for a record price
of $2.39 million per carat or $35.54m for the diamond. Setting a new
record price per carat for any fancy colour.
The 1.03 ct Intense Fancy yellow Orange Round brilliant is made
rarer because of the combination of the size, shape, colour and clarity.
Shapiro’s Auctioneers will auction the diamond at the May 13 Jewellery sale.
