Sotheby’s is set to unveil a dazzling highlight at its upcoming New York jewellery auction—a stunning 53.04-carat diamond. Expected to fetch a remarkable sum of up to $5 million, this unmounted pear-shaped gem boasts a rare combination of qualities, including D-color and internal flawlessness. Scheduled for the June 7 Magnificent Jewels sale, this diamond represents an extraordinary opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Additionally, the sale will mark one of the inaugural events to feature Sotheby’s new pricing structure. This innovative approach includes a noteworthy 26% decrease in buyers’ fees. In a proactive move, Sotheby’s conducted extensive surveys among "ten of thousands of clients" to gauge the potential impact of this pricing adjustment. Impressively, over 90% of respondents expressed willingness to bid higher under the new fee structure, signaling a promising outlook for the auction house.
With anticipation building for this prestigious event, the stage is set for an exhilarating bidding war over this magnificent diamond. As collectors and enthusiasts eagerly await the opportunity to acquire this exceptional gem, Sotheby’s continues to demonstrate its commitment to enhancing the auction experience and fostering a dynamic marketplace for fine jewellery.
