Have I missed the thread on this somewhere? The Wittelbach diamond, a rare 35.6 carat 17th century grey-blue diamond, at Christie's auction house in London, Friday, Dec. 5, 2008. The diamond was part of the dowry of the Infanta Mararita Teresa upon her engagement to Leopold I of Austria, given by her father King Philip IV of Spain, and is expected to sell for some 9 million pounds, ($ 15 million, euro 10.4 million ), at auction on Dec. 10.

"The 35.56-carat, historic Wittelsbach diamond, which came to the international market for the first time in almost 80 years, sold at auction house Christie's on Wednesday for 16.39 million pounds ($24.3 million), a world record price for any diamond or jewellery sold at auction." |

That's a good photo of it, the one in the newspaper didn't make it look near as interesting. I'm surprised that it's only been 80 years since it last changed hands. I would think something like that would stay in families for a long time. Any stories on if and how it's been set in the past?
