A 15.81-carat diamond could fetch up to $38 million when it goes on sale in Hong Kong next week.
The Sakura named after the Japanese word for cherry blossom, due to its vibrant hue is the largest purple-pink flawless diamond ever to appear at auction.
The rare stone is set on a simple platinum ring and has been classified as internally flawless, meaning that any blemishes are only visible under close magnification. It has also been classed as being fancy vivid, a measure of intense color achieved by only 4% of pink diamonds, according to a press release from Christie s, the auction house organizing the sale.
