Sotheby’s is poised to captivate jewellery collectors with the upcoming auction of “The Glowing Rose”, a stunning 10.08-carat fancy vivid pink diamond, set to take place on 12 November 2025 in Geneva. This exquisite diamond, renowned for its exceptional colour and clarity, is only the third vivid pink cushion-cut diamond over 10 carats to appear at auction in the last decade.
Expected to fetch around US$20 million, “The Glowing Rose” was crafted from a 21-carat rough mined in Angola in 2023 and is classified as Type IIa, indicating its supreme purity. Its alluring hue is the result of unique natural distortions in its crystal lattice, making it a marvel of nature.
Ahead of the auction, the diamond will be on display in Singapore on 17 and 18 October, followed by an exhibition in Taipei on 23 and 24 October, presented in a bespoke setting by British jeweller Boodles. Jessica Wyndham, head of high jewellery at Sotheby’s Geneva, expressed excitement about this extraordinary offering, highlighting its potential to attract discerning collectors globally. “The Glowing Rose” truly embodies the pinnacle of luxury in the world of fine jewellery.
