A beautiful pink diamond sol at auction for more than 10 million dollars breaks the record, going for about two million dollars per carat. The diamond is not flawless, but it’s rare vivid pink color made it very valuable to everyone who bid on this great stone. Five carats in size and set in a cushion type setting, whoever wears this ring will know they have one of the rarest gems on earth.

The pink gem’s per-carat price of $2.2 million was also the highest ever paid for any diamond at auction, Christie’s said.
“No stone has ever been sold for $2 million a carat, we were used to … a million dollars a carat for colored diamonds but never 2 million,” said Francois Curiel, Christie’s Europe chairman. “This is an absolute record that is not going to be broken for a while I believe.”
I would love to see stones like this in pendant settings, and pretty pink diamonds make for great fashion accessories. Perhaps we will see more of these colored stones used in various ways in the near future.
