Specialized diamond adds US$ 09 million to Alrosa!
Alrosa completed True Colours auction Alrosa, the world leader in the diamond mining industry, has successfully completed its own specialized “True Colours” auction with a total sale of $9 million worth of coloured diamonds. 210 unique diamonds were sold in the first round. The bidding was very active, and most of the lots were sold for well above their starting price. The “hero stones” stars of the collection with a particularly rare combination of qualities, generated enormous interest from bidders. One such “star”, which attracted a lot of attention from buyers around the world, was an oval cut Fancy Vivid Orangy Yellow diamond weighing 15.11 carats. During the course of the bidding the diamond doubled in price. “The collection of large coloured stones – all cut by our company – which we brought to Hong Kong was the biggest in Alrosa’s history. We sold the lots for well above their starting prices and consider the auction results to be very positive,” said Pa
