A diamond that could fill a tablespoon is the latest object of desire for gem buyers. The 72.22 carat stone comes with naming rights and is expected to bring in up to $13 million when it goes up for sale on April 10 at Sotheby's Hong Kong. Unlike some other larger stones where cut has to be sacrificed for size, this D-color, flawless gem is a perfect pear shape.

This diamond is a perfect diamond. Type IIa and this is also the diamond set in a fantasy bra by jeweler Mouawad in 2004 for Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra costing $10 million set in a precious metal with thousands of other diamonds.
