NEW YORK, NY.- Christie’s presents The Eden Rose, a 10.20 carat Round Brilliant Fancy Intense Pink Diamond as the leading highlight of New York Magnificent Jewels auction on June 11, 2024, during Christie’s Luxury Week. This exceptionally rare gemstone, estimated at US $9,000,000-12,000,000, is the most significant round brilliant internally flawless fancy intense pink diamond to be offered at auction since the Martian Pink sold at Christie’s Hong Kong in 2012.

This extraordinary diamond exhibits a pure pink hue, making it an unparalleled expression of color. While many natural pink diamonds typically display secondary hues such as purple, orange, or grey, The Eden Rose stands out for its complete absence of any secondary color, rendering it exceptionally rare. Further enhancing its allure is its Type IIa classification and remarkable flawless clarity.

The round brilliant cut, known for its ability to maximize light reflection, is considered the ideal cut for diamonds, meticulously crafted to accentuate the stone's natural attributes. With its 10.20 carat weight expertly preserved, and its dimensions perfected through the round brilliant cut, The Eden Rose promises a mesmerizing display of brilliance, showcasing its finest natural features to perfection.

Rahul Kadakia, Christie’s International Head of Jewlery: says “Christie’s excels in presenting our collectors with the highest level of quality, exemplified by The Eden Rose. Given its rarity, we are anticipating significant interest from around the world. Twelve years ago, collectors were captivated by The Martian Pink, a highly rare and covetable gemstone, sold in our Hong Kong sale in 2012. The stone surpassed its estimate to achieve a record price of $17 million, equating to $1.45 million per carat. The Eden Rose has never been offered at auction and we are proud to be presenting a jewel of its unmatched caliber for the first time this June in New York.”

The Eden Rose will be on exhibition at Christie’s Hong Kong from 24 – 27 May. This rare diamond will then be on display to the public during Christie’s Luxury Week at Christie's Rockefeller Center in New York City from 7 to 10 June.
