A yellow diamond ring will be the star of the upcoming jewelry sale at Phillips, where it is set to fetch up to $1.3 million.
The brilliant-cut, 15.51-carat, fancy-vivid-yellow, VS2-clarity stone is one of several colored diamonds that will lead the March 28 Hong Kong Jewels auctions, Phillips said Tuesday. The sale will also include a large selection of jewelry with Burmese rubies and Colombian emeralds.
Vintage pieces and items by well-known design houses such as Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier will also be on offer, as will those featuring highly sought-after gems including Burmese red spinel and Paraiba tourmaline from Mozambique and Brazil.
The auction house will preview the jewels in Singapore and Taipei, Taiwan.
Here are the rest of the top five items at the auction:
