Wow, must be nice when money is NOT an issue. Just read about The Clark Pink, a 9 carat cushion-cut fancy vivid purplish pink diamond, which garnered a huge $15.7 million at Christie’s April 17 auction in New York. It was part of the collection of Huguette M. Clark, an heiress of the Gilded Age. Overall, Clark’s treasure trove of jewels, which Christie’s called “a fairy tale collection,” fetched $20.8 million, against a presale estimate of $9 million. This makes it the second most valuable private collection sold in the United States in the last decade, behind Elizabeth Taylor’s.
Wowzers. Can you imagine? Diamonds are wonderful, definitely a girl’s best friend and I have the privilege of blogging about them daily. But I sure could think of other things to do with that money….could you?? Let’s start a list! What would you do if you had a free $15.7 million to spend?
