Hi everyone
I came across this article this morning..

I really wonder about stones trading for $150k/ct. As Ed Bristol mentioned in a previous post, some of that, atleast so I thought, had to do with the cachet of the jeweler (Cartier etc), but I suppose there's actually more big clear stones trading like that nowadays. I suppose I have to take another trip to the natural history museum and look at that kind of gem. I guess now that there's this superrich class of people out there buying like that, then that might push everything up. I especially like the last line!!!
they mention kate middleton again, i was wondering if anyone knows the origin or other technical specs of her 18ct sapphire?
