Christie’s Geneva presents the stunning diamond Bleu Royal<\/h3>\n

An admirable diamond that is touted as \u201cone of the world\u2019s best ever found\u201d is likely to be sell somewhere between \u00a327 million and \u00a340million.<\/p>\n

The 17.61-carat blue diamond could become one of the most expensive stones ever sold by Christie’s at an auction in Geneva.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bleu Royal is the top lot in a series of auctions to be held this month on the shores of Lake Geneva, including legendary items from the history of cinema, such as pearls worn by Audrey Hepburn and a Marlon Brando’s engraved watch.<\/p>\n

\u200cThe 17.61-carat stone is the largest flawless bright blue fancy gemstone ever offered for sale at auction. Set in a ring, it had been part of a private collection for 50 years.<\/p>\n

\u200cRahul Kadakia, the auction house’s international head of jewellery, told AFP: \u201cIt will be in the top 10 of Christie’s sales in terms of value.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Mr Kadakia, many modern diamonds have been cut to enhance their colour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But in the case of the Bleu Royal, \u201cthe rough material itself was so rich that they were able to cut it in a classic brilliant faceting style. It ticks all the boxes – it really is the best in its class,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vivid blue fancy diamonds over 10 carats are rare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
