  • Estrela de FURA: 55.22
    The largest gem-quality ruby ever to come to auction, the Eternal Pink sold for $34.8 million at Magnificent Jewels in New York this June, a world record for a ruby and any coloured gemstone.

    “It’s difficult to express the range of emotions I felt when I first laid eyes on the ‘ Estrela de FURA: 55.22 ’, but to put it simply, I was entranced. With its unprecedented size, piercing color and rare degree of optical transparency and clarity, it truly deserved the record-breaking price today, as it now joins the ranks of the world’s most legendary gemstones.” Quig Bruning, Head of Sotheby’s Jewels, Americas & EMEA
