History of the rare pink diamond ring

The centre stone of the ring was part of the royal family's jewel collection before it came under the hammer in 1996.

After this, Joel Arthur Rosenthal, a legendary jewellery designer, was commissioned to design a new ring for the rare diamond.

The fashion influencer mentioned that after the ring was ready, it was expected to fetch around $3 to $5 million. However, eventually, it got sold at a price double of what it was expected to fetch.

On June 17, 2025, the ring was sold for $13,980,000 (around Rs 1,25,10,83,959) at Magnificent Jewels sale at Christie in New York.
