What do you think is the best Valentine's Day gift? Many girls are guided by the old truth: the best gift, however, like a friend, is jewelry with a diamond. And the chic 56-carat heart-shaped stone will surely delight even the most capricious and discerning lady.

However, this year hardly anyone will receive such an interesting piece of jewelry. The heart-shaped diamond will only be auctioned at Christie's in May. And this is just one of a series of gemstones weighing at least 50 carats, which will be offered to the attention of buyers.

“By Valentine's Day, the demand for heart-shaped diamonds is growing, but after the holiday they are again in little demand,” Maxim Zemlyakov, director of Orel-ALROSA, said in a recent interview. According to him, now the fashion for diamonds in the form of a square. The model is called "Princess". It is difficult to predict which form will be popular in the future ("Pear", "Emerald", "Marquis", "Trilliant" and so on).

According to experts, the price of a heart diamond ranges from 5, 6-7, 5 million pounds sterling. Of course, this is not cheap, but by no means a record price that real connoisseurs are willing to pay.

So, in November last year, a rare pink diamond weighing 24.78 carats was sold for 46.16 million dollars. The buyer of the rare stone, which jewelers compare to “pink champagne”, was the famous British jeweler Laurence Graff, who named the stone “Rose Graff” after himself.

“This is the most stunning diamond I have seen in my career and I am delighted to have purchased it,” said the buyer.

Previously, the most expensive diamond was considered the 35.56 carat Wittelsbach-Graff stone, which was sold in 2008 for $ 24.3 million.
