A purple-pink diamond has set a new record as the largest ever to be auctioned, selling for $29.3 million in Hong Kong.
“The Sakura,” the Japanese word for cherry blossom, is a 15.8-carat purple-pink diamond set on a platinum and gold ring, according to auction house Christie’s which organized the sale.
The diamond is classed as “fancy vivid” because of its depth of color and “internally flawless,” meaning any blemishes internally are only visible under a powerful microscope.
