Next, I am honored to introduce to everyone, this is a Type IIb diamond with a color grade of Fancy Vivid Blue. It is the largest blue diamond of its color grade in auction history. Whether it can break the record depends on all of you present here today.
Let me give you a brief introduction: this diamond originally belonged to a nobleman. The blue diamond became one of his private collections precisely because of its perfect hue, cut proportion, and rarity.
In the 1990s, Italian designer Verdura especially designed a "Five Blades" ring for this blue diamond, which was held by leaf-shaped prongs. At present, the diamond has been reset into the center of a platinum ring, flanked by a step-cut diamond on each side.
The lady who owns this diamond will be God's favored child. The starting price is... fifty million, and each increase must be no less than two million.
Now, let the bidding begin."
