Fine Jewelry Signature® Auction on Wednesday inDallas -Texas. 

An exceptional natural fancy pink diamond weighing 6.17 carats realized $2,187,500 in Heritage’s Holiday Fine Jewelry Signature® Auction on Wednesday inDallas -Texas.  Known as The Angelina, the fresh-to-market oval-shaped treasure helped lead the Dec. 3 auction to an $8,405,540 finish and now stands as the highest-priced item of jewelry in Heritage history.

Natural pink diamonds like The Angelina are some of the rarest gemstones on Earth. Less than 0.01% of all diamonds mined annually display natural pink coloration, and those surpassing 5.00 carats with richly saturated tone reside at the absolute pinnacle of rarity.

“The sale of this extraordinary pink diamond for $2.18 million underscores just how sought-after stones of this magnitude are,” says Jill Burgum, Heritage’s Executive Director of Fine Jewelry. “It’s incredibly special to place a gem of this importance into the hands of a new steward.”
