Amongst the most rare diamonds are the blue ones!
Early next month, Sotheby’s is organising an auction of Magnificent Jewels in New York
which features an exquisite 5.69 carats Fancy Vivid Blue Diamond ring.
The amazing Fancy Vivid Blue Diamond beauty is expected to be sold for up to USD 15 million.
The auction also includes an extremely rare diamond ring of 110.92 carats which
makes it the largest round diamond to be offered at auction.
Interesting fact – Despite the white diamond’s significant
difference in size compared to the Fancy Vivid Blue Diamond ring, the white diamond is expected to be
sold for up to USD 6.2 million – less than half the price of the Blue Diamond.
It seems that size doesn’t always matter…when it comes to diamonds.
Rarity and uniqueness though definitely counts!

A seven meter diamond in Japan.
Sou Fujimoto’s Polyhedral Pavilion Shapes The Art Island of Japan.
Located near Naoshima, the Japanese island better known as the “Art Island”, Sou Fujimoto’s Pavilion appears as a translucent and lightweight diamond
perched on the coastal edge of Kagawa.
The structure has an interior height of 7 meters encouraging visitors to enter and experience this reticulated and delicate space that at the same time generates shadows and allows wind breezes to trespass it. Its irregular shape and the different slopes generated in its interior gives flexibility to the structure either in contemplative terms or as a resting place from the intense sun.
The Naoshima Pavilion was part of the 2016 Setouchi Triennial. Fujimoto has created its structure with a white painted stainless steel framework, acting as a mesh that gives the polyhedron it’s irregular shape and light appearance as if it was levitating from the ground.
The pavilion is one of several architectural and artistic landmarks of the island of Naoshima which also features works by SANAA, Tadao Ando, Yayoi Kusama and James Turrell among others.

A sapphire and diamond necklace, bracelet and earrings plus a watch and a ring. Considered the perfect match for her engagement ring.
..So she took the sapphire of the ring and turned it into the centre piece of the choker which
she wore as her trademark headband. And then the diamond surrounded sapphires
of the watch were turned into these two earrings.
One of which was the gem that Prince William gave Kate Middleton.

Fun fact: During his career, Dalí made a series of strange watches. One of them was up for auction in Sotheby’s May 17 Impressionist and Modern sale in New York. This little brooch/watch, aptly called The Eye of Time, is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
It is one of the many cool mid-century timepieces that can be found from time to time. One of the coolest things about watches is that they can be found in many different forms with many different functions. This edition of The Eye of Time was auctioned at May 17 at Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale at Sotheby’s New York. It was sold for 372,500 USD.
