Wow! Dunno what to say about this, all I have on my mind is the figure in dollars.....lol. I may accept another marriage proposal if I have this blue diamond on a ting, it does not matter if the man proposing to me is sitting, standing or kneeling....lol
South Africa's Blue Moon diamond has has been auctioned in Geneva for $48.4m (£31.7m), Sotheby's has said.
The cushion-shaped diamond, mounted on a ring, was bought by a private collector from Hong Kong.
The sale came a day after rival auction house Christie's sold a rare 16.08-carat pink diamond for $28.5m.
In 2013, a diamond known as the Pink Star was sold for what is believed to be a record breaking $83m (£52m) - also at a Sotheby's auction in Geneva.
The polished blue gem was cut from a 29.6-carat diamond discovered last year in South Africa's Cullinan mine, which also yielded the Star of Africa blue diamond in the British crown jewels.
Sotheby's spokesman David Bennett described it as "magical", adding: "I've never seen a more beautiful stone.
"The shape, the colour, the purity, it's a magical stone and everybody, I think, who put it on their finger thought so."
