Sotheby’s is delighted to present the Infinite Blue, an 11.28-carat Fancy Vivid Blue diamond. Designed as a ring embellished with brilliant-cut and trapeze-shaped diamonds, the Infinite Blue has a captivating hue that alludes to the vastness of the ocean. Originating from the legendary Cullinan mine, the discovery of the rough for the Infinite Blue was a momentous occasion. Only 0.1% of the total mining production can produce blue diamonds, irrespective of the strength of color. The Blue Moon of Josephine, weighing 12 carats and found in the same mine in 2015 and set an auction per-carat price record of US$4 million at the time with Sotheby’s, a record that holds to this day. More recently a 15-carat De Beers Blue diamond was auctioned for over US$57 million last year. The Infinite Blue will tour around the world before an exhibition at Hong Kong Convention Center from the 2^nd to the 5^th of October. Private viewings will be available upon request.

蘇富比榮幸矚目呈獻「無際之藍」——一枚11.28克拉的艷彩藍色鑽石。它鑲嵌於戒指之中，綴以圓形及梯形鑽石，「無際之藍」的迷人色調暗示著海洋之浩瀚。源於具有傳奇色彩的庫里南礦，「無際之藍」的發現當屬一個重要紀元。藍色鑽石無論顏色強弱，只佔總採礦產量的0.1%。重達12克拉的「約瑟芬的藍月」（The Blue Moon of Josephine），在2015年同一礦場被發現，同年於日内瓦蘇富比創下了每克拉400萬美元的拍賣紀錄，維持至今。去年春季，一枚15克拉的「戴比爾斯之藍」（The De Beers Blue）則於香港蘇富比以超過5700萬美元成交。「無際之藍」將於世界各地巡迴展覽，於10月2日至5日假香港會議展覽中心最後隆重登場。可安排私人預約鑒賞，敬請預約。
