First off, the color. This diamond is a fancy vivid pink, which is basically the unicorn of gemstones. Pink diamonds are incredibly rare—less than 0.01% of all diamonds have that natural hue.
Size matters too, of course. At nearly 60 carats, this isn’t a tiny chip you’d stick in a class ring. It’s like a piece of candy that’s larger than a golf ball. Plus, it’s internally flawless, meaning no specks, no clouds—just pure, perfect pink magic.
Fun fact: it took two years just to cut this stone from a raw diamond that weighed over 130 carats. Talk about patience! Imagine waiting 24 months for a haircut, but way, way more expensive.
Who actually buys a $71 million ring?
You might think it’s a billionaire’s wife, but nope. The Pink Star was snapped up by a company called Chow Tai Fook, a Hong Kong-based jewelry giant. They immediately renamed it the “CTF Pink Star,” because why not brand a diamond?
Most Expensive Wedding Ring In The World
But here’s the twist: the previous owner auctioned it off, and the sale broke world records. The buyer didn’t just walk into a mall and say, “I’ll take one, please.” This was a high-stakes auction with bidders who probably don’t even blink at a seven-figure price tag.
And even though it’s a ring, no one wears this thing to brunch. It lives in a vault, probably surrounded by lasers and a moat filled with glittering cash. Security is no joke when your ring costs more than a small country’s GDP.
