Pink diamond sells for record $46 million at auction
None
A rare pink diamond has smashed the world record for a jewel sold at auction after a well-known gemstone dealer bid over $46 million for the precious stone.
The price easily tops that of the blue 35.56-carat Wittelsbach-Graff diamond auctioned for $24.3 million in 2008. The 24.78 carat "fancy intense pink" diamond was sold Tuesday for $46,158,674 by Sotheby's in Geneva. Sotheby's says the buyer is British diamond dealer Laurence Graff. (AP)
