Sun Drop Diamond
The 110 carat “Sun Drop Diamond” was sold to an anonymous private buyer at an auction held in Geneva last Tuesday. It seems as though not everyone is cutting their budget!
The world’s largest pear-shaped, fancy vivid yellow diamond sold for more than $12.3 million! And although you and I might love the color, the shape, and the fact that it’s a diamond, it’s a bit big for everyday wear!
Diamonds this size and color are not found every day. And, although rumors are that diamonds are not rare, it’s more accurate to say that beautiful diamonds are rare. This diamond was found in South Africa; however, diamonds are also found in Australia, Canada, Russia, Botswana, and even Arkansas! They vary in color, quality, and size, but when cut with beauty in mind – like this one – even the small ones are noticed from across the room. Give thanks to Mother Nature. …Dii
