The Clark Pink Diamond & Summer Jewelry Alternatives
On Tuesday, Christie’s auction house in New York sold a rare 9-carat pink diamond for $15.7 million! The diamond belonged to the estate of philanthropist and reclusive heiress Huguette M. Clark. The cushion-cut ring, known as “The Clark Pink”, set a record for the most valuable pink diamond sold in the United States.
Want the same look? Read on… While the beauty of the ring is undeniable, the price tag is a bit much for us non-heiress types. The alternative: rose quartz. This pink-colored crystal is much more abundant and is known as the heart-healing gemstone.
Pink quartz is a great stone to add to your jewelry collection while also adding a bit of Summer color to your wardrobe. Italian designer Roberto Coin creates a dazzling pink quartz necklace available at Roman Jewelers! The 18kt white gold piece features a multi-faceted stone set in a 0.10 ct. diamond cap.
John Hardy, one of our Sales Staff’s favorite designers, also uses pink quartz in rings, bracelets, and pendants.
