当敦煌莫高窟壁画幻化成一项钻石项链，到底呈现什么模样? 早前香港苏富比举行传媒预览，呈献将于瑰丽珠宝及翡翠首饰拍卖中的多枚珍罕美钻，其中包括100.02 卡拉浓彩黄色钻石配钻石项链的「敦煌琵琶」，估价达4,000 至5,000 万港元。

另一枚方形钻石，在钻石质量评级标准 ( 亦称 4C) 之中均取得最高级别; 无论成色、净度及切工均完美无瑕。在拍卖史上，逾 80 卡拉方形白钻仅出现过 5 枚，这是其中之一。

GORGEOUS GEMS OF GRANDEUR

Apart from the Dunhuang Pipa Necklace, the auction also features another two rare and exquisite diamonds.

Imagine that the lady playing a pipa depicted on the Dunhuang murals comes to life and turns into a diamond necklace. In a media preview, Sotheby’s Hong Kong presented a group of rare and exceptional diamonds to be offered in its Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite Sale, featuring the Dunhuang Pipa Necklace set with a 100.02-carat fancy intense yellow diamond at an estimated price of HKD 40-50 million.

– Designed and mounted by Anna Hu, the Dunhuang Pipa Necklace is created through the inspiration from the imagery of a lady playing the pipa depicted on the Dunhuang murals. The silhouette of the necklace resembles a Chinese Pipa attached to lines of music stave that flows gracefully along the neckline. Transformable into a brooch and an earring, the necklace
is designed for modern-day women who appreciate intricate designs with a versatile twist.

– Apart from the Dunhuang Pipa Necklace, the auction will also feature a 10.64 carat fancy vivid purplish pink internally flawless diamond and diamond ring, and an 80.88 carat emerald cut diamond. Both are rare, exquisite and breath-taking.

– While displaying a fine transparency and an exceptionally clear appearance, this fancy vivid purplish pink diamond has been afforded the grade of an internally flawless gem. It is a miracle in nature as it has achieved a “Fancy Vivid” colour, which is a rare subgroup comprising less than 4% of all pink diamonds.

– Polished as a radiant cut, with the outline of an emerald-cut diamond combined with the scintillation of a brilliant-cut diamond, the gemstone boasts an attractive combination of facets which enhance the face-up colour. The subtle but distinctive colour of pink gained fame as the colour of elegance and aristocratic splendour through the centuries. In time, the colour became strongly associated with women, femininity, and as a symbol of love.

– The emerald-cut diamond has acquired the highest standard of 4C – carat, clarity, colour, cut. Of excellent colour and clarity, this 80.88 carat diamond is one of the only five emerald cut diamonds exceeding 80 carats even to have been offered at auction.

– Boasting flawless clarity, the diamond invites one to be immersed in its elegance through the crisp facets of the emerald-cut, which enhances the colourless brilliance of this gem. Also, the diamond is D colour, displaying an exceptional transparency that typifies a Type IIa gem, which represents less than 2% of all diamonds mined.
