A pink-diamond ring is set to lead Sotheby’s upcoming New York auction, carrying an estimate of up to $4.3 million.
The piece, by designer Valentin Magro, bears an emerald-cut, 7-carat, fancy-intense-purplish-pink, internally flawless stone. It will feature in the December 11 Magnificent Jewels sale, Sotheby’s said last week. The ring is one of several colored diamonds in the top 10.
Some important collections will also grace the auction block, including that of famed singer, dancer and art patron Merle Reskin. Jewels belonging to Millicent Rogers, granddaughter of Standard Oil partner Henry Huttleston Rogers, who was the topic of many high-society columns in the 1920s and ’30s, will also be up for sale. Only one other jewel belonging to Rogers has appeared at auction, Sotheby’s noted.
These jewels are in addition to the collection of Sydell Miller, which Sotheby’s previously announced.
Here are the rest of the top 10, not including the Sydell Miller jewels:
