RARE 8.76-CARAT NATURAL FANCY ORANGY PINK DIAMOND DEBUTS Platinum Ring with Argyle Pink Diamonds Available by Appointment

New York, March 11, 2014…An extremely rare Natural Fancy Orangy Pink Diamond will be unveiled this month, available by appointment only at select One and Only One™ locations nationwide. The 8.76-carat cushion-cut Fancy Orangy Pink Diamond (SI2) is surrounded by white diamonds and 84 round Argyle Pink diamonds (0.54 carats). Set on a ring of platinum and 18K rose gold, the Fancy Orangy Pink Diamond is certified by Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The price is available on request.

“In the past four years, rare pink and orange diamonds have broken numerous records at the world’s premier auction houses,” said Joe Padulo, CEO of Padulo Privé, an adviser to elite jewelers and luxury brands. “This Fancy Orangy Pink -- a pastel pink with just a hint of saffron orange -- combines the most sought-after colors in a stunning cushion-cut stone. It will surely find its way into the portfolio of a discerning investor/collector of Natural Pink Diamonds.”

Pink diamonds are among the rarest and most coveted of all Fancy Color Diamonds. In fact, the top three prices paid for any gemstones have all been for pink diamonds. In addition to their natural beauty, their scarcity and increasing investment value adds to their desirability throughout the world -- especially of late in the Asian market.

Large Fancy Orangy Pink Diamonds rarely come up at auction:

 In May, 1995, at the Christie’s Geneva Sale of Magnificent Jewels, an 18.65-carat Fancy Orangy Pink Diamond Ring sold for $2 million, or $111,000 per carat.

 In November, 2013, at the Christie’s Hong Kong Sale of Magnificent Jewels, a 12.85-carat Fancy Intense Orangy Pink Diamond Ring fetched $4.95 million, or $385,000 per carat.
