AN IMPORTANT FANCY PINK DIAMOND AND DIAMOND RING, BY MEISTER, CIRCA 1968The Fancy Pink step-cut diamond, weighing 3.62 carats, between radiating tapered baguette-cut diamond shoulders, unsigned, ring size PFootnotes:Property of an International Collector.Accompanied by a handwritten description of the ring from Meister, dated 16th January 1968, stating the weight as 3.61 carats and describing the diamond as an 'unusual fine pink colour pure stone without flaws'.Accompanied by a report from the GIA stating that the diamond is natural Fancy Pink colour and VS1, Potential clarity. Report number 2195752073, dated 24th September 2020.Accompanied by a report from the GIA stating that the diamond is natural Fancy Pink colour and VS1, Potential clarity. Report number 2195752073, dated 25th October 2018.Pink diamonds are exceedingly rare in nature. It is estimated that only one in 10,000 gem quality diamonds produced in the world show noticeable colour and of these, a similarly small percentage are pink, the majority under 2.00 carats in size. How they occur is romantically enigmatic; unlike most other coloured diamonds, their colour is caused not by trace elements in their chemical composition but by a lucky miracle of nature, a distortion within their atomic lattice caused by the pressure exerted on them during their formation.Throughout millennia of diamond mining, pink diamonds have been unearthed only occasionally, historically in India and later in Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa. The best specimens have been kept as treasures in the collections of royalty, rulers and museums, sought after and celebrated for their elusive beauty. Traditionally considered a gemmological curiosity, the last 50 years have seen a great shift in perception.In the late 1970s, pink diamond-bearing lamproite rock was discovered at the Argyle mine in East Kimberley, Western Australia producing a limited but steady number of small fine quality pink and red diamonds each year. The mine quickly became recognised as the only consistent source in the world. This small but regular supply, alongside informative marketing campaigns, piqued industry and public interest in pink diamonds and the rarity of coloured diamonds. The last few decades have seen the value of fine coloured diamonds increase exponentially. With the Argyle mine forecast to cease operations by 2020, the future of pink diamond mining is uncertain as there are no other known mines with such a consistent production; pink diamonds may become increasingly rare.This beautiful stone possesses an exceptional combination of characteristics. The Gemological Institute of America has graded it as Fancy Pink colour and VS1 clarity, improvable to potentially flawless. It is extremely unusual to find a pure pink diamond, of a high clarity grade and no secondary modifying component colours. Bonhams is delighted to offer such an important pink diamond for sale.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

AN ELEGANT DIAMOND FLOWER BROOCH, BY CARTIER, CIRCA 1955The single bloom set with an old brilliant-cut diamond, weighing 16.12 carats, within a surround of openwork petals set with brilliant-cut diamonds, on a baguette-cut diamond stem issuing brilliant, single and step-cut diamond buds and leaves, remaining diamonds approximately 10.05 carats total, signed Cartier London, length 8.2cmFootnotes:The present lot is accompanied by Cartier's original design drawing and a report from GCS stating that the diamond weighing 16.12 carats is N-R colour, VS1 clarity. Report number 79193-16, dated 20 December 2018.The design of this flower brooch is very similar to the Williamson diamond brooch in the Royal Collection (RCIN 200146, see de Guitaut, C., 'Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration', London, 2012, ill. pp 100 - 103), which represents a jonquil flower and features a flawless pink diamond, weighing 23.60 carats. The original rough was extracted from the Mwadui mine in Tanzania and given to Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip as a wedding gift by Dr John Thorburn Williamson.In 1952, the Royal couple commissioned Cartier to create a floral setting and Frederick Mew was responsible for the design. It was not until the 1940s, that Cartier produced more naturalistic interpretations of flowers, with Frederick Mew in London and Peter Lemarchand in Paris leading the way (see Nadelhoffer, H., 'Cartier', London, 1984, p.187). Mew was a gifted designer and watercolourist adept at drafting realistic studies of flowers. The remaining baguette, brilliant and marquise-cut diamonds were also gifted to Princess Elizabeth by Dr Williamson for setting the stem, petals and leaves and the brooch was completed in the Queen's coronation year. The Cartier design in the Royal Collection is a clear derivative of the brooch illustrated here, which features a large diamond as the principal stone with openwork petals and a more elaborately realised stem.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
