Gina Lollobrigida’s Fancy Yellow Diamond

‘Magnificent Jewels’ auctions at Sotheby’s and Christie’s are always good, but this weekend, Sotheby’s was AMAZING.

Glamorous 1950s and 60s screen siren Gina Lollobrigida auctioned her 74.53-carat fancy yellow diamond, and it sold for $2.95 million, an auction record for a fancy yellow diamond. Here’s Ms. Lollobrigida.

The previous owner was the Imperial Majesty Sultan Ahmad Shah Qajar, the last ruler of the Qajar dynasty in Persia. That’s this gentleman.

There is something so magical about this diamond. We could stare into it all day.

There were also other fabulous jewels in the auction, which you can see here. Ms. Lollobrigida auctioned the jewels to raise money for stem cell research.
