Christie’s Geneva Jewels = $148m

May 19, 2016 by Marion Maneker

Christie's Geneva Jewels 516

The art market may have slowed at the top end but the gem and jewelry market continues to rage on. Following Sotheby’s record sale, Christie’s made a record for a single stone. (There was a larger sale a few years ago but the buyer backed out leaving Sotheby’s in possession of the diamond.) The Oppenheimer Blue is now the world’s most expensive jewel at $57m.
