There is a range of factors that determines the price for a certain diamond: carat size, cut, grading and color. Referring to the recent sales in Geneva, one more point can be added to that list – the potential ‘previous’ owner. 23.6-carat fancy brown-orange diamond ring that could belong to Elizabeth Taylor but who refused it is now on sale at Christie’s auction and the fact of that kind of involvement with celebrity now adds to the price.

According to GIA grading, the square cut diamond is of VVS1 clarity and of rare fancy brown-orange color. Of course, a pre-sale estimate of that kind of ring was $2.5 mln to $3.5 mln. Do you think it would cost that much if there was no tangled story with Elizabeth Taylor?
