GABRIEL URIST JEWELRY

Most expensive diamonds are sold at auction, so the highest bidders name their price and whoever offers the most money goes home with the prize. Most times, these are pretty massive diamonds. For instance, the average engagement ring is just 1.18 carats in size. However, these diamonds range from anywhere between 0.25 carats and 4 carats. In the former case, they are rare enough to fetch quite a hefty price. Even more so, once they are sold and re-offered at an auction, they only increase in price... Just like with people who collect art, there are wealthy individuals around the world whose sole mission is to own the most expensive family heirlooms and gemstones the world has to offer. They are an example of the few commodities that can retain their value over time, and quite often, in fact, even increase that value... Here are some of the most mind-bogglingly expensive diamonds ever sold around the world.
