“Today’s sale of Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite, which achieved the highest total ever for a sale in this category conducted by the company in Hong Kong, demonstrated that what drives buyers and collectors in the current market is the search for perfection andharity. Our top lots – from the Highly Important Diamond Rivierr Necklace composed of 50 D-Colour Internally Flawless white diamonds, to the Important 5.16-carat Fancy Vivid Blue Diamond – one of the De Beers Millennium Jewels – and the Spectacular DColour Internally Flawless White Diamond Pendent of 33.31 carats – provided the very special and the rare, and were the objects of vigorous competition from bidders from across Asia and the world, both private collectors and trade. These results were the latest in a series of triumphs for Sotheby’s Hong Kong and achieved strong prices for white diamonds, coloured diamonds, jadeite and pearls.”
