A beautiful €1.5 million (£1.24 million) gold and diamond pendant was the star of the demonstrate in Paris this week, showing there is no exclusion to the fact that diamond prices are rising for 2010.
Artcurial of Paris put on an auction sale of luxury jewels and watches during the last week of July, but the results have only just been unrestricted to the public. The sale was hosted at the Hotel Marcel Dassault in Paris, France.
There was one item which totally stole the limelight; the dramatic gold pendant (pictured) embedded with a large pear cut diamond weighing a huge 55.34 carats.
The pendant itself is shaped from rose gold, and the diamond feature of the pendant rests in a perforated ‘basket‘ set of extra brilliant cut diamonds. The 43g weighted pendant hangs from a identical rose gold chain.
The luxurious and required after piece was accompanied by a certificate from the European Gemological Laboratory (EGL) which accounted for the authenticity and quality of the stone.
The special necklace starred at Artcurial with an probable sale value of €1,000,000-1,500,000 (£822,309 – £1,233,478).
With constant reminders that the 2010 jewellery markets is effectively fighting back against the economic downturn, this exceptional jewellery sale item proved no exemption, reaching a high total value of €1,147,336 (£943,722).
