New York City, New York Jun 15, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Diacore purchased the dancing sun diamond at Christie’s New York during its just-concluded 2021 auction. The precious stone is a 204ct stunning unmounted colored diamond that remains the largest polished diamond to have ever be mined in North America.
The stunning yellow diamond was auctioned with an estimated bid that ranged from USD 3, 500,000 – USD 5,500,000 and closed on June 8, 2021, at a release price of USD 4,950,000. The precious gem was auctioned alongside some six smaller diamonds from the same rough region, ranging from 1.06 to 14.52 carats.
As the largest polished diamond to be mined in North America, dancing sun diamond had highly competitive bids at Christie’s Magnificent Jewels sales. The 204.36ct diamond closed as the most expensive polished diamond in Christie’s New York sale.
Another prominent lot featured in the New York auction included the Chrysler Diamond, a pear-shaped, 54.03ct, an internally flawless gem that is already set in a necklace together with some other 43 smaller pear brilliant-cut diamonds.
Also present at the display were other lots, including a group of 20 jewels presented from a private collection and some pieces such as diamond earrings, natural pearl, and other pieces by Graff, Carnet, and Lorraine.
The Yellow Dancing Sun Diamond
The dancing sun diamond is a 204.36ct cushion modified brilliant-cut, VVS2-clarity stone cut from a 552.74-ct rough unearthed at the Diavik mine in Canada. The rough represents the largest gem-quality to have ever been discovered in North America.
With the great weight of the dancing sun diamond, the precious stone is known to have set a new milestone for the North American diamond mining industry. And on June 8, 2021, the record-breaking fancy intense yellow diamond was triumphantly purchased by Diacore at Christie’s New York.
Below is Nir Livnat, the executive Chairman of Diacore comment on the purchase:
“It delights us to have been able to purchase the fancy intense yellow diamond in Christie’s New York auction. This is indeed a pricey feat for us at Diacore and we know that owning the dancing sun diamond, the largest, record-breaking diamond to have ever been mined in North America will bring us to more opportunities in the world of diamonds.”
