39-carat 'Evening Star' Diamond Up For Auction
NEW YORK (AP) A 39-carat pear-shaped diamond called the Evening Star is going on the auction block in New York City.
Its pre-sale estimate is between $3.6 million and $5.5 million. It comes from the same ancient mine in India as the celebrated Hope and Wittelsbach diamonds, known for their luminescent quality. The Evening Star is one of 10 jewels belonging to a single owner that Christie's is offering in a special sale on Dec. 10. It has not identified the collector. Christie's says the Wittelsbach diamond holds the record for a jewel sold at auction more than $24 million at its 2008 London sale.- Loading Comments...
