I composed earlier this month about the azure precious gem up for sale at Sotheby's in Hong Kong on April 7th. In accelerate of the sale DeBeers communicated me with a little more info on the azure precious gems encompassing this likeness of the full set of the Millennium Jewel Collection, a assemblage of 12 blockbuster pebbles that encompasses the De Beers Millennium Star and 11 outstanding and uncommon azure precious gems initially accumulated as part of the Millennium commemorations in the London Millennium Dome. The azure pebble in the auction is the first precious gem to arrive up for sale since going into personal collection.
How did the assemblage arrive to be? Andrew Coxon, President of the De Beers Institute of Diamonds with over 40 years know-how with the De Beers Group, is one of the world's premier professionals on precious gems and was the head of precious gem buying at De Beers Group all through the 1990s. He was the visionary behind the assemblage and in person chosen each azure uneven precious gem for its promise attractiveness and even saturation of color. The pebbles had been assembled by De Beers from their own mines over a time span of over 20 years. After assortment the two-year chopping and shining method began.
