Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The owner of a fancy blue diamond sold by Sotheby’s 12 May, which set two records, has been named: Joseph Lau Luen-Hung, a Hong Kong collector, paid $9.48 million for the 7.03-carat fancy vivid blue internally flawless cushion-shaped diamond. He has named it the “Star of Josephine,” exercising his right as the first owner of the gem.

The diamond set a new record price per carat for any gemstone sold at auction and a record for the highest price for a fancy vivid blue diamond sold at auction.
