Every diamond is as unique as a snowflake\u2014 but some diamonds are even more unique than others. In this post, we\u2019re celebrating some of the most unique and spectacular diamonds ever discovered by counting down the top ten most expensive diamonds ever sold.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, all of the world\u2019s most expensive diamonds are sold at auctions (though, some may be sold privately\u2014 we just wouldn\u2019t know about them), and their price tags are higher than what most people would make in a hundred years. So, after counting down the ten most expensive diamonds of all time, we\u2019ll also take a look at some expensive and unique diamond studs that are ultra luxurious, but still something you could feasibly purchase.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, on with the list of the ten most expensive diamonds ever sold!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ten Most Expensive Diamonds of All Time<\/strong>

Price:<\/strong> $23.8 Million
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Perfect Pink Diamond certainly lives up to its name. This 14.23 carat emerald cut fancy pink diamond is the picture of perfection. And the most recent buyer of this diamond clearly agrees, as they paid a hefty $23.8 million for it at a 2010 Christie\u2019s Hong Kong auction.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything about the Winston Blue Diamond is notable, though its biggest claim to fame is that it is the world\u2019s largest flawless vivid blue diamond. This flawlessly gorgeous 13.22 carat diamond sold for $23.8 million when it was purchased by Harry Winston at Christie\u2019s<\/em><\/a> in 2014.

Price:<\/strong> $26.7 Million
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 411 on The 101 is that this colorless pear shaped diamond gets its name from its carat weight: 101.73. Here\u2019s another big number that\u2019s tied to The 101: $26.7 million, which is how much it sold for at Christie\u2019s in 2013.

Price:<\/strong> $30.6 Million
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would think that the largest diamond ever publicly sold would get a fun nickname like the other diamonds on this list, but that\u2019s just not the case. At a Christie\u2019s auction in 2013, this unnamed 118.28 carat colorless oval cut diamond sold for $30.6 million. Though it\u2019s nameless, this diamond will leave you breathless.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Princie Pink Diamond, a 36.45 carat fancy pink diamond, was discovered quite a long time ago, over 300 years ago in India\u2019s world famous Golconda Mine.

Note:<\/em><\/strong> While that concludes our list of the most expensive diamonds ever sold at auction (so we know their prices), there are some diamonds that may be worth even more\u2014 we\u2019ll just probably never know how much more, because they\u2019re too valuable or historic to be put up for sale. Here are a few more famous diamonds and their estimated worths:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hope Diamond:<\/strong> Estimated Worth of $350 Million<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cullinan:<\/strong> Estimated Worth of $400 million <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sancy Diamond:<\/strong> Thought to be Priceless<\/p>\n\n\n\n
