Sotheby’s have proudly announced the sale of two spectacular luxury blue diamonds at their forthcoming Magnificent Jewels Sale to be held at the Beau-Rivage Hotel in Geneva on Tuesday May 11th. The Geneva blue diamonds follows in the wake of the successful sale of the "De Beers Millennium blue diamond" which sold for $6.4 million on 7 April 2010 at Sotheby's Hong Kong.

One of the luxury stones is a fancy intense blue cushion shaped 7.64 carats diamond mounted in yellow gold and platinum expected to exceed the price estimate of roughly $ 4 - 6 million. The other luxury stone is a rare pear shaped blue diamond set as a Toi et Moi ring weighing 5.02 carats and mounted aside a white diamond of the finest luxury quality, is estimated at $4-7 million.
