GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) — Two dazzling pink and blue pear-shaped diamonds have together sold for 57,118,000 Swiss Francs ($57,425,000) to a private buyer at Sotheby’s auction house on Tuesday (May 16).
Sotheby’s said the Apollo and Artemis stones are “by far the most important pair of earrings ever offered at auction.”
They were offered to buyers separately at the auction house’s Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels sale in Geneva, but were purchased by the same buyer.
Last month, a 59.60-carat pink diamond sold for a record $71.2 million in Hong Kong.
