The Most Expensive Jewels In The World

If you are like us, you have wondered what jewels are the most valuable and rare and that is why we compiled this list. Check out these remarkable stones.

The Vivid Pink by Graff

Value: $11.8 Million

Pink diamonds are very valuable; no one is certain why pink diamonds are pink because every other color has some definitive explanation. But in this case, scientists can only hypothesize. They think that some sort of seismic shock is responsible for changing the molecular structure of these very rare gemstones. So it makes sense that the Vivid Pink Graff diamond is very valuable and made this list.

The gem is classified by the Gemological Institute of America as “fancy intense pink.” The diamond’s history is not clear. Harry Winston sold it to a private collector in the 1950s, who owned it up until 2010 until it was sold at auction. Despite its rarity, the diamond was unnamed for all this time. The centerpiece is the cushion-shaped, 5 carats, pink diamond. The diamond is of such high quality that it is given the classification of fancy vivid. On each side, as a complementary touch, you can find a “regular” shield-shaped diamond all mounted in platinum and 18k rose gold.

Wallis Simpson Panther Bracelet

Value: $12.4 Million

Many people have seen the infamous panther bracelet and have seen some cheaper look-alikes. But this original was a part of Wallis Simpson’s collection. She is probably best known for her relationship with Edward VIII. It resulted in his abdication of the British throne in the 1930s. Over her life, Simpson collected many gifts from Edward. But some of those gifts ended up on the auction block in 2010.

One of the items, which caught a hefty bid, was a Cartier created bracelet. It was in the form of a panther. This is definitely one of the more unconventional jewelry pieces being that it is in the shape of a panther. The panther’s body is made of diamonds and onyx and its eyes are composed of two specially cut emeralds.
