The World's Most Expensive Diamond Goes under The Hammer in Switzerland

If you've been waiting far too long for a lover to pop the question, perhaps its best
to look away now. For this is the most expensive diamond ever to go under the hammer. That's
what auction house Sotheby's say anyway. It's called the 'Pink Star' and experts believe
that at 59.6 carats - it could fetch as much as £40m. It was cut and polished from a 132.5
carat rough diamond mined by De Beers somewhere in Africa in 1999. It was then sold to an
anonymous buyer in 2007. Not her. So let's hope whoever buys it this time round is luckier
in love than she was.
