‘Pink Legacy’ could fetch record price

A pink diamond weighing in at almost 19 carats is set to go on tour before being auctioned in Geneva and could fetch a record price of $30m-$50m (R429m-R571m), Christie’s auction house announced.

The Pink Legacy is rated “vivid”, the highest rating for a diamond’s colour, and was once part of the Oppenheimer collection, Christie’s said.

It will be shown in Hong Kong, London and New York.
