A Last Look

In this feature, we revisit a handful of beautiful and extraordinary pieces that have passed through our doors since the last issue...

A Magnificent Platinum And Diamond Ring, 25.02cts Sold for $1,125,000 April Important Jewels Auction

The largest and most expensive diamond ever to come to auction in Australia sold in our April Important Jewels auction in Sydney for $1,125,000 IBP in a historic moment for Leonard Joel. The spectacular platinum and diamond ring featuring a square emerald-cut diamond weighing 25.02 carats delighted clients at the viewings in Melbourne and Sydney before selling at auction to an absentee bidder. When the hammer went down, the previous record for the most expensive diamond sold at auction in Australia – set at Leonard Joel’s Important Jewels auction last August when a 17.34 carat diamond ring sold for $575,000 IBP – was broken.
