An extremely rare blue diamond was auctioned in Geneva for the equivalent of almost 20 million euros. “The Mediterranean Blue” with his 10.3 Karat caused a bitter bidder duel, said Sotheby’s Auction House on Wednesday. In the end, the diamond found a new owner for 17.9 million Swiss francs.
The new owner was a private collector from the US, explained the auction house – without mentioning a name. “The Mediterranean Blue” is a brand new blue diamond, which are very rare. He was recently brought from the legendary Cullinan -Mines in South Africa.
Brought less than expected
Sotheby’s spoke “Vom Stein of the Season”-“Less exciting than expected”, on the other hand, Tobias Kormind described Europe’s largest online jewelry dealer 77 diamonds.
“The Mediterranean Sea” brought a little more than expected, he said. “But the general uncertainty, including the trade tensions between the US and China, may have been clouded the confidence of the bidders and the atmosphere.”
