A leading international auction house of fine jewelry based in Toronto has announced that its upcoming Toronto sale and auction of jewels will feature the most valuable and rarest pink diamond ever to become available in the country.

Weighing a spectacular 10.11 carats, this conflict-free gem, discovered in the Argyle Diamond Mines of Australia, is among the rarest collectible items ever to be offered in the region. The auction value of the diamond has been set anywhere from $2.5 million to $3 million. The most expensive pink diamond ever to be sold was a 5 carat world record pink diamond piece that sold for the price of $10.8 million dollars in Hong Kong last December.

Colored gemstones are very desirable because of their exceeding rarity. Celebrity endorsements in the form of pink diamond engagement rings have made them even more desirable and chic. Carla Bruni, the model/singer and wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy sports a pink diamond engagement ring as well as Jennifer Lopez from the notorious Bennifer era, and Victoria Backham, the posh spice. It is however most probable that the fate of this spectacular gem will be set at a safety box or a secure safe once purchased.

“I removed my bottom row of teeth and put on diamonds instead”, West responded when asked about his shiny new set of dentures. Diamond Jewelry in the form teeth would strike most as somewhat odd and excessive, and yet excessive is what West is all about. Just consider his latest performance for the BET awards this past August. West reportedly wore $300,000 in extravagant Egyptian inspired, golden jewelry. It is a wonder he could even stand upright let alone perform with the monstrous 24k gold chain dangling from his neck.
