At Sotheby's auction set a record price for jewelry with rubies, reported Bloomberg. November 17 at auction in Geneva, earrings and a necklace with rubies and diamonds were sold for 5.8 million Swiss francs (5.7 million) with two buyers from Asia. The total value of two lots exceeded the estimate by more than five times.
In addition, the auction records were set at cost-carat green and rich blue diamonds. Ring with a green diamond at 2.52 carats was sold for 3.1 million francs, and the ring with a saturated blue in 3.17 carat diamond was sold for 2.5 million francs. However, Sotheby's failed to sell the blue pear-shaped diamond weighing 5.96 carats; earlier trading house thought that he may set a record price for all carats of diamonds. The current record was set in May: while in Geneva blue diamond weighing 7.03 carats was sold for 9,5 million dollars.
