Fancy Vivid purplish-pink diamond, that was expected to sell for $12 million to $15 million, failed to sell. We were disappointed that the 10-carat purple-pink diamond did not find a buyer, but top-quality white, blue, pink and yellow diamonds fared very well, said Christie’s head of jewellery in New York, Radul Kadakia. He added that a Fancy Vivid blue diamond sold for $3.67 million, or more than $1 million per carat which exceeded it high estimate. The highlight of the auction was a cut-cornered rectangular cut diamond, which went for $4.4 million. A rectangular-cut Fancy Intense Pink 6.61 carat diamond fetched $3.5 million.
