Loose diamonds and gems ...
Later this week, a consequential collection of loose diamonds worth thousands of pounds will go under the auctioneer’s hammer. Rare gems and diamonds are being sold off on Friday by auction abode Lyon and Turnbull who believe the rarity of the collection will plea to both private buyers and collectors alike who have an eye to make them up into ornaments pieces.
There are several lots, four of which contain unusual coloured diamonds all over one carat in superiority and include hues of yellowish gray, yellowish unripe (pictured) and purplish pink.
One oval cut purplish pink diamond is independently expected to go after a minimum of £1,800 at Friday’s auction. There are several other gems interested in the auction, including a purplish pink spinel, a raspberry red bixbite, a unripe demantoid garnet and some Tanzanites.
Diamonds receive their natural colours due to the wraith of additional elements in the formation of the gemstone. This makes them much rarer since the adulthood of diamonds are slightly tinted when mined but naturally intense coloured diamonds are significance more than the naturally colourless variety.
On behalf of Lyon and Turnbull, Colin Fraser elucidated on the auction:
“Loose gemstones not often appear in jewellery auctions at Lyon & Turnbull so attached attention will be paid to the private collection, comprising ten lots of un-mounted gems, coming up for purchasing on Friday 16th July.”
