Although this ring and its sensational diamond would need a bit more appraisal attention than the usual pieces that people brought in through Sotheby’s doors, some breath-taking developments would soon unfold. The total piece’s initial worth was calculated to be almost £350,000, and its owner was completely lucky once more as the ring would be eventually entered into the auction. The woman could never have dreamed that it would be purchased for far more than its original value. The actual price established was insane.

The Earthshaking Bid

Debra excitedly put the diamond through for auctioneering, and the big day soon arrived. You can be sure that many excited bidders set their sights on the diamond when it was unveiled. The stone received many desperate bids during its actual auction, with a nameless purchaser landing the winning bid. What really stood out throughout this process was the insane level of cash that the purchaser put out for the ring: a mind-blowing £847,000, which comes to $912, 261. However, its size was just one factor of its magnificent value.
