For those out there who are never satisfied with how large your diamonds are – and have the bank account to afford it – a 100-carat classic emerald-cut diamond is hitting the auction block.
The rare diamond is being auctioned by Sotheby's Auction House, who believes the anonymous owner will get anywhere from $19 million to $25 million for it.
“This 100.20 carat diamond is the definition of perfection,” Gary Schuler, head of Sotheby's Jewelry Department in New York, said in a release, CNBC reports.
“The color is whiter than white, it is free of any internal imperfections, and so transparent that I can only compare it to a pool of icy water. It is the first true emerald-cut diamond over 100 carats to be offered at auction—the most classic of cuts, quietly elegant and very contemporary.”
Believe it or not, the owner of the diamond started out with a 200-carat stone and over a year’s time, molded it into the flawless stone it’s being sold as.
The auction will start on April 21 in New York, but it will be showcased in Los Angeles, Dubai, London, Hong Kong, and Doha first.
Forbes reports it’s part of Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels auction.
It will be flown back to New York on April 17.
