BEHOLD The World’s Most Expensive Earrings That Sold For $57million (And The Diamonds Don’t Even Match)

0


A PAIR of odd coloured diamonds have become the world’s most expensive EARRINGS after they were sold for a staggering £45 million.
The Apollo and Artemis Diamonds are described as “truly exceptional stones” which are in a “class of their own” when considered as a pair.

The stone Apollo is a 14.54 carat vivid blue diamond which has been cut and polished into a pear shape. And its Artemis partner is a 16 carat fancy intense pink diamond.

Both gems are phenomenally rare, with less than 0.1 per cent of diamonds having any blue in them. An “infinitesimally” small percentage of those are graded Fancy Vivid Blue like Apollo.

They were sold as separate lots at a Sotheby’s auction in Geneva on Tuesday evening.

Apollo sold for £33 million and Artemis fetched £12 million – with both earrings snapped up by the same anonymous bidder.

The £45 million final figure ($57million) is a record for a pair of earrings.
