The Pumpkin Diamond, a type known as a Fancy Vivid Orange and a mere trifle at about USD3m!
just love checking out expensive items, I mean really expensive items like diamonds, so expensive I'll never be able to afford them.
Right up there in the expense stakes are some of the worlds largest and most beautiful diamonds.
The biggest buyers of expensive diamonds are men who buy them for their collections, (sorry ladies). These collectors are unsurprisingly amongst the world's wealthiest men, they prize perfection and will pay in large amounts to aquire it. The chase for perfect diamonds may be a worldwide one involving international dealers and auction houses and diamond mines in South Africa, Australia and elsewhere.
Forbes.com estimated values on several of the worlds most expensive diamonds last year and among them were:
The Mouawad Diamond Necklace at USD 12m which contains a 70 carat stone at its centre
Sotheby's D-Grade Flawless Diamond, 108 carats at USD 16m
The Leviev Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond, 77.12 carats at USD 10m
The Graff Fancy Vivid Pink Pear Shaped Diamond at USD 10m
The Darya-ye Noor Diamond of the Iranian Crown Jewels is reported to be the largest pink diamond at about 186 carats
These might sound impressive but they pale against monsters like the "Star of Africa" at 530.2 carats carats on display in the Tower of London or the "Golden Jubilee" at 545.67 carats.
