Christie’s Hong Kong to auction world’s largest matching pair of Forevermark diamonds

A highlight at the Christie’s Hong Kong Autumn sale of Magnificent Jewels, slated on 29 November 2011, will be the world’s largest matching pair of Forevermark diamonds.

The diamonds’ features: weight: 35.61 and 35.77 carats, respectively, flawless both internally and externally, highest colour D, inscribed with the Forevermark icon and individual number, discovered in Southern Africa, cut and polished by Forevermark Diamantaire Steinmetz from two individual rough diamonds each initially weighing over 100 carats.

Unveiled in India in early 2011, this unique pair was exhibited at the Forevermark brand launch in Mumbai and Delhi.

Forevermark diamonds undergo a stringent quality control assessment before being retailed. Forevermark diamantaires use skill and artistry passed down through generations, to cut and polish each Forevermark diamond to ensure each diamond’s own inherent beauty is unleashed. Forevermark’s team of diamond experts in Antwerp then assess the diamond no less than five times to ensure the strict beauty and symmetry requirements have been achieved. Only then will the diamond be inscribed as Forevermark. Stephen Lussier, CEO, Forevermark explains “Inscribing such exceptional diamonds as these, further demonstrates that bearing the Forevermark inscription provides consumers with greater assurance of the diamonds’ quality and integrity as well as treasures that are truly unique”.

These stunning diamonds have been awarded “Triple Excellent” for polish, symmetry and cut grade.
