Auction tracking on ArtHitParade :

(2402) Christie's chose the third world auction place, Hong Kong, to sell on May 28 a colourless (F) diamond of 101 carats, shield-shaped (47 million HK$). In the same city Sotheby's had sold on October 8 last year a perfect blue diamond. Shall the Far Eastern gem market now compete with Middle East? According to a tradition that is developing for exceptional gems, the buyer must give a name to this diamond, which was unveiled in the Spring Masterpieces Exhibition of Christie's.

(3003) A 263-carat opale will be sold in San Francisco by Bonhams and Butterfields on June 22 (150 K$). This is not the biggest opale from the sale, but perhaps the most perfect: to attract fans, the auction house announced that it is shaped like a "fried egg"!

(1304) A diamond of 38 carat pear-shaped is estimated 1.8 million £ in the sale of the jewels of Christina Onassis at Christie's in London on June 11. In the same origin, a curiosity: a jade Buddha by Fabergé at 250 K£. From another owner, Christie's announced an exceptional nineteenth century diamond necklace.

(2704) On May 15 in Geneva at Sotheby's, here are an ornament of corsage by Wiese (155 KFS) and a Cartier sapphire of 206 carats crimped of diamonds that passed by the collection of the duchess of Windsor (1,1 MFS). Rings are crimped with colour gems: an oval purplish pink diamond of 5 carats (2,35 MFS, or 470 KFS per carat), a vivid blue pear-shaped diamond of 3,7 carats (2,8 MFS, or 750 KFS per carat) and a Burmese ruby of 14,6 carats surrounded of diamonds (2 MFS).

(2704) On May 28, with the diamond of 101 carats already announced, Christie's Hong Kong presents a green diamond of 10,6 carats (2 M US$, or approximately 200 K$ per carat) and some jadeite jewels: a pair of ear studs (2,3 M US$) and a necklace (2,15 M US$).

(2704) On May 14 in Geneva at Christie's, a ring decorated with a Burmese ruby of 13,7 carats in an important diamond entourage (lot 372) is awaited for 1,6 MUS$ but the estimate is tight. Let us return to diamond with an intense blue of 13,4 carats, also on a ring (6 MUS$, or 440 KUS$ per carat, lot 393).
