While hanging out at the Tucson Gem Show one hears stories – about people – about companies – about GEMS…this is one of those stories. <\/p>\n

I chose to print this story when I heard it again when I got home. So – make of it what you will – if it is true, I would love to see this stone! BTW – the info I received came complete with a photo of “the Diamond” sitting inconspicuously on what appears to be a black brief case.<\/p>\n

Rumor has it that Paris Hilton is Engagement Ring shopping <\/a>with her latest boyfriend Cy Waits and needs a stone that will blow former fiance, Paris Latsis’ ring, out of the water! You remember the Greek Shipping Magnate’s 24 carat, $4.7 million ring (see photo). Well – Happy 30th Birthday Paris – we have your Diamond!<\/p>\n

This is the quote I was given:<\/p>\n

“Is Paris Hilton<\/span> going to get former Princess Diana<\/span>\u2019s engagement ring center<\/span> stone??<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Rumor circulating in the principal diamond trading <\/i><\/span>centers is that the center stone of former Princess Diana\u2019s \u201cengagement ring-to be\u201d will be offered soon at auction either at Christie\u2019s or Sotheby\u2019s. The engagement ring, which was produced by Harry Winston, had two heart shaped pink diamonds and a 30.8+ carat round brilliant center stone set in platinum. <\/i><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
After her passing \u2013 the ring was taken apart and the 30.8+ carat center stone was re-cut by a well known diamond expert in NYC and ended up being a 30.72 carat, D color, flawless, triple Ex, type IIa, round brilliant Golconda<\/span> <\/a>stone that is certified by GIA. <\/i><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Diamond dealers and investors from NYC, Hong Kong, Israel, Las Vegas, and India have been contemplating the purchase.<\/i><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We are wondering if Paris Hilton\u2019s desire for a 25+ carat engagement ring diamond<\/span> has been influenced by the rumors of the 30.72 carat soon to be auctioned.<\/i><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We were informed that both Christie\u2019s and Sotheby\u2019s have been approached about including this famous stone in one of their auctions.<\/i><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The principal diamond trading centers will be watching carefully as a matched pair of 35+ carat stones and a 25+ carat stone will come up to be auctioned off – in soon to be held auctions<\/i><\/span>.”<\/span> <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
end quote<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So forgive me my Gossip Column moment – but – seriously? Paris Hilton – Princess Diana – AND a diamond over 30 carats? Can you blame me? REALLY? ;-p<\/div>\n
