Trace this diamond back and you will no doubt encounter two further names. Steinmetz Pink and Pink Star. This week, the natural pink diamond was purchased by diamond cutter Isaac Wolf, and the name has changed again. It will now also be known as “Pink Dream.”<\/p>\n

Origins of the Pink Star<\/h3>\n

The incredible pink diamond is regarded by many as one of the most precious stones in the World. The “Pink Star” otherwise known as “The Steinmetz Pink” is the World’s largest internally flawless, oval pink diamond, weighing 59.60 carats. The original diamond that was mined in South Africa took over 20 months when it was cut. Pink diamonds are usually cut into shapes that help maximise the appearance of the pink colour.<\/p>\n

This week the diamond was sold for just under \u00a352 Million (76,325,000 CHF) at Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels auction<\/a> this week in Geneva.<\/p>\n
