The largest white diamond ever to go under the hammer was sold at Christie’s in Geneva in 2022, fetching $21.9 million (£18m). Named The Rock, the dazzling 228.31-carat, pear-shaped gemstone is about the size of a golf ball and was previously worn as part of an opulent Cartier necklace.
The Rock was expected to break the world record price of $33.7 million (£27.8m) for a white diamond but fell massively short of expectations.
