27 November | Live Auction | Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

Hong Kong – Christie's is proud to present the highly-anticipated Magnificent Jewels live autumn auction on 27 November at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The auction will showcase over 110 lots, including an exquisite and carefully curated array of coloured and colourless diamonds and gemstones, exceptional jadeite, and stunning creations from renowned jewellery houses.

Taking centre stage at the sale is The Pink Supreme, a phenomenal 15.48 Carat Fancy Intense Pink Internally Flawless Type Ila Diamond Ring (estimate: HK$70,000,000 – 100,000,000 / US$9,000,000 – 12,000,000). A true rarity, The Pink Supreme’s sensational ‘Fancy Intense’ pink hue is a distinction only a fraction of pink diamonds achieve from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), and its Type IIa classification represents less than a mere 2% of all gem diamonds. Impressive in size, graded Internally Flawless and cut with expert craftsmanship, this is a pink diamond of unparalleled beauty and a true optical masterpiece.

Vickie Sek, Chairman, Jewellery Department, Christie’s Asia Pacific, remarked, "As we continue our legacy of introducing rare and coveted diamonds to the world, we are delighted to spotlight 'The Pink Supreme', alongside the extraordinary 40.05 carat Golconda Diamond this season. These remarkable jewels, together with a hand-picked selection of jadeites, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds, underscore our unyielding commitment to quality. We eagerly anticipate opening the doors to Christie's dazzling world of jewellery for enthusiasts and connoisseurs at our live auction on 27 November in Hong Kong.”
