Bulgari Pink Diamond Ring Sells for $2.6M
A Bulgari ring with a 3.18-carat pink diamond led a recent sale at Italy’s Aste Bolaffi auction house, where it sold for EUR 2.3 million ($2.6 million).
The piece contains a cut-cornered rectangular, fancy-intense-pink, VS2-clarity, type IIa diamond with 64 additional brilliant and baguette diamonds weighing around 1.93 carats. The jewel, which went under the hammer at the October 8 Fine Jewels sale in Turin, surpassed its EUR 1.2 million ($1.4 million) upper estimate, Aste Bolaffi said last week. It was the most expensive lot the company has ever sold and Italy’s second-highest-priced jewel ever bought at auction.
In total, the sale brought in EUR 4.1 million ($4.8 million), marking a record achievement for the jewelry department, with online bidders from across the globe.
Other top lots included a brilliant-cut, 10.82-carat diamond ring that sold for EUR 55,000 ($63,904) and another ring with an emerald-cut diamond of around 7.02-carats, which fetched EUR 46,000 ($53,447). A modified square-cut, 5.27-carat, fancy-yellow diamond ring realized EUR 42,000 ($48,799), while an O.J.Perrin ring featuring an antique cushion-cut, 7.54-carat diamond with diamonds on the band went for EUR 34,000 ($39,504).

Motorsport Meets High Jewellery: Hannah St John Turns Heads with ‘La Velocita’ Diamond Necklace at F1 Event
A 25-carat, 1,800-diamond Masterpiece Inspired by Formula 1 circuits Takes Centre Stage at the Glamour on the Grid ahead of the Australian Grand Prix
At the glamorous lead-up to the Australian Grand Prix, Hannah St John, partner of Liam Lawson, made a striking statement at the Glamour on the Grid event with a one-of-a-kind diamond necklace that seamlessly blended motorsport and haute jewellery.
Titled “La Velocit” (The Speed), the necklace was crafted by Australian atelier Martin Rogers Jewellery. The extraordinary piece features approximately 1,800 diamonds totalling 25 carats, intricately arranged to trace the outlines of iconic Formula 1 circuits from the global racing calendar.
A true testament to craftsmanship, the necklace required an estimated 250–300 hours of meticulous handwork, including weeks dedicated solely to precision diamond setting. Valued at around AUD $500,000 (approximately $350,000 USD), the piece stands as a bold fusion of speed, design, and luxury artistry.
Blurring the lines between engineering inspiration and fine jewellery, “La Velocità” captured attention across the paddock, proving that Formula 1’s influence extends far beyond the track.
