A 75.35-carat briolette diamond sold at auction in May has been christened ‘The Star of China.’
The diamond—certified D colour and Type IIa by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA)—achieved a world-record price of $11,151,245 US when the gavel fell at Christie’s Hong Kong Magnificent Jewels sale.
The sparkler’s new owner Tiffany Chen, vice-chair of China Star Entertainment Ltd., named it after her company.
