There are only two really important things to wear with a nightgown; perfume and diamonds and of course if you’re going to wear diamonds it’s only prudent to go for something worthwhile. Sadly there seems to be a distinct lack of taste in the world these days as pink diamonds have become the color of choice; a pink diamond ring sold for 10.8 million dollars in Hong King this Tuesday. While the price itself wasn’t remarkable, the stones size of only 5 carats meant that it sold for over two million dollars a carat, breaking a record set 15 years ago.
The stone is a vivid pink which is fine, if you like that sort of thing, but only potentially flawless. Worse still it does not appear to be steeped in historical mystery or intrigue, being simply the centre stone of a rather boring looking ring. Nearly 11 million dollars for that? I don’t think so.
So what if it is the most expensive pink diamond in the world? Pink is just so not ‘in’ this year.
