Fine Jewels Online
Welcome to our exclusive Auction Online Review for Sotheby’s Fine Jewels event. In a departure from our customary approach, this online auction requires us to explore the offerings without our traditional visual asset rankings, adapting our analysis based on the auction’s images.
Members who read this analysis should see it as a supplement to the GIA report.
For your convenience, we have added direct links to diamonds’ GIA reports, FCRF rarity stats, and the Diary report landing page to explore everything you need to know about each fancy-colored diamond.
- All images in this Analysis were taken by Sotheby’s
- All auction valuations are per-carat and listed in US Dollars.
- The FCRF evaluates chosen diamonds during each auction based on expert judgments.
