Christie’s auction house held one of the highest-priced auctions in recent times. The world’s largest white diamond was put up for sale at this auction. The stone, called “The Rock” or “The Rock”, found a buyer for exactly 21.9 million dollars. However, although this sales amount was astonishing, it did not fully meet the expectations. According to the auction house, Kaya was worth just over $30 million…
At 228.31 carats, the Kaya is almost the size of a golf ball and has a pear-like design. Making statements about the white diamond found in South Africa, Max Fawcett, one of Christie’s executives, referred to the stone’s perfect symmetry. According to Fawcett, the Rock was one of the rarest items ever sold at auction.
Introducing The Rock
The previous owner of the rock was unknown. All that is known about the owner of the diamond is that this person is in North America. According to the information obtained, the French-based jewelery company Cartier turned this huge white diamond into a special necklace and delivered it to its owner. Kaya’s new owner was not announced as before. However, it is known that Cartier will rework this diamond.
Although The Rock is one of the largest diamonds in the world, when we look at it in terms of price, we see that there are more valuable jewels. For example, in 2017, a necklace with a 163.41-carat diamond and emerald in the hands of a jeweler named Grisogono was sold for 33.8 million dollars and went down in history. Time will tell if The Rock will one day be able to surpass this price and become the world’s most expensive white diamond…
