The ‘Martian Pink’ is an extremely rare 12 carat pink diamond that is so adored that it sold for $17.4 million (£11.1 million) in Hong Kong on Tuesday 29th May. The name ‘Martian’ came from the celebrity master jeweller Harry Winston who was so impressed that the Americans had landed on Mars in 1976 that he decided to look into his inventory & find a rough diamond that would more than likely be pink. After cutting the diamond to perfection, Harry Winston unveiled the most intense pink diamond  he had ever seen or cut before. The current owner of the ‘Martian Pink’ wanted the diamond to be sold in Hong Kong where it would demand a higher price. The buyer of this beautiful rare pink diamond is anonymous & placed the winning bid over the phone, he/she must be extremely proud to own such a rare & beautiful diamond.

A rare pink diamond has sold for $23.2 million (£14.86 million) at an auction in Hong Kong.

The stone, also known as the Perfect Pink, was bought by an anonymous bidder at the event, which was held by Christie's auction house.

Its valuable price tag makes it the most expensive jewel ever sold at auction in Asia, with Burmese rubies, Kashmir sapphire and jadeite also receiving high bids from buyers.

Vickie Sek, director of the jewellery and jadeite department of the auctioneer's Asian branch, said: "The strength of the jewellery market was once again demonstrated in Hong Kong with a record $78.9 million auction, making it the highest total ever for a jewellery auction in Asia."

She added that the Perfect Pink has become the most expensive jewel ever sold in Asia.

Earlier this month, the Fancy Intense Pink diamond broke all auction records after fetching £29 million – it was purchased by British jewellery trader Laurence Graff.

Boasting a 12.29-carat Golconda diamond as well as rare Argyle pink gemstones, the masterpiece weighs just 50 grams thanks to artful design.

The eye-catching precious stone and the smaller Argyles, mined in Australia, have been set in as little metal as possible to give the impression that the wearer is only sporting the gems.

Described by the publication as "one-of-its-kind", the item took 1,300 experts more than a year to craft.

It will be up for sale at the Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite event on October 6th and the news source notes the estimated price may even be exceeded, as demand for coloured diamonds is traditionally high at Hong Kong events.

The gem, set in a ring that also includes a cluster of pear-shaped diamonds, is one of a number of items that will be available at the auction.

Also up for sale will be two diamonds weighing nearly 11 carats each, which are estimated to sell as a pair for between $3.3 million and $3.9 million.
