Diamonds are the best friends of the fair half of humanity! What woman does not dream of acquiring such a precious stone that would emphasize her uniqueness. Like every woman, each of them is unique and one of a kind. In this list we have collected ten of the most expensive and famous diamonds. Let's take a closer look at them.
Kohinoor or Mountain of Light (King of Diamonds)
This miracle has also not yet received its monetary value. The gem weighs 105 carats! They say it also carries a curse that only affects men and does not work at all in the hands of a woman.
Gemstones of this size are very rare. It is clear why they are shrouded in secrets and curses. If you had the opportunity, what “pebble” would you like to have?

An exceptionally rare 102.39-carat diamond could be one of the most expensive stones ever sold at auction.
Although Sotheby's declined to provide a pre-sale estimate, diamonds of similar size and quality have previously attracted bids ranging from $12 million to $30 million.
The diamond was cut from a rough diamond weighing 271 carats. Notably, the oval stone achieved top positions in each of the "four Cs" - cut, color, clarity and carat weight - by which a diamond is graded, the auction house said.
It was classified as D color, the highest grade for a white diamond. A diamond is considered “flawless” both inside and out. Of course, this makes it one of the most chemically pure, transparent and symmetrical diamonds in the world. It also belongs to a rare subgroup of diamonds that contain virtually no nitrogen.

According to Sotheby's, only seven D-color flawless (or internally flawless) diamonds weighing more than 100 carats have ever come to auction.
Of these, the most expensive was a rectangular diamond weighing 163.41 carats, which was sold at Christie's in Geneva for $33.7 million. While the most expensive oval-shaped diamond cost $30.8 million in 2013. If the diamond goes under the hammer in Hong Kong, it will sell for more than $26 million.
Time to transform the auction market
Unusually, the rare oval diamond is offered without reserve. This means that it will be sold regardless of the highest bid. Bidding will begin online from September 15, and the sale will close at auction in Hong Kong on October 5.
In the meantime, the diamond will only be exhibited in Beijing, Shanghai, New York and Taipei by appointment.
In a press statement, Sotheby's worldwide jewelry chairman Gary Schuler said it is "hard to overstate the rarity and beauty of the stone."
Meanwhile, Sotheby's Asia chairman Patty Wong expressed confidence about the sale despite challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Diamonds of this caliber are of interest beyond traditional collectors,” Wong added. “This groundbreaking sale seems like the best way for us to introduce this exceptional diamond to the world in the current travel-restricted environment.”

Only seven D color Internally Flawless or Flawless white diamonds over 100 carats have been sold at auction, making this the eighth. Exceedingly rare, this gem has achieved the highest rankings under each of the standards by which the quality of a diamond is judged; color, cut, clarity and carat weight, also known as 'the four c's'. The remarkable 102.39-carat diamond will be offered in a stand-alone, single lot live auction on 5 October 2021 in Hong Kong, with bidding open online from 15 September. #Sothebys #SothebysJewels #Diamond #Diamonds #100carat
