The 30.16 carat Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond with VS1 clarity sold for US$2,843,791 or $94,290 per carat. It was valued at $2.4 million to $3.2 million, so it ended up selling at the middle of the range of Sotheby’s valuation. Not many Fancy Vivid Yellow diamonds are available for purchase whose size is above 30 carats. The buyer of this diamond must have been shopping around, and had to pay this price, which is quite strong for this color and size category, especially considering that major cutting modifications were made in order to render this a Fancy Vivid when it otherwise would have gotten a Fancy Intense color grade.
