Christie’s to Offer 204ct. Yellow in New York
RAPAPORT. A 204.36-carat, fancy-intense-yellow diamond with a high estimate of $5.5 million is set to lead the New York sale at Christie’s next month.
The cushion modified brilliant-cut, VVS2-clarity stone, called The Dancing Sun, is the largest polished diamond originating in North America, having been cut from a 552.74-carat rough unearthed at the Diavik mine in Canada, Christie’s said last week. The auction house will offer the stone at its Magnificent Jewels sale on June 8 alongside six smaller diamonds originating from the same rough, ranging from 1.06 to 14.52 carats.
Another prominent lot is the Chrysler Diamond, a pear-shaped, 54.03-carat, D-color, internally flawless stone. Originally purchased by Harry Winston from the estate of Thelma Chrysler Foy, the daughter of Walter Chrysler, the stone is now set in a necklace together with 43 smaller pear brilliant-cut diamonds. The piece carries a high estimate of $4.5 million.
