A big blue diamond was the top lot at the Christie's Spring Jewelry auction in New York this week. A 6.29 carat fancy-intense-blue diamond brought in $3.6 million on Thursday. An anonymous buyer bought the stone for what works out to $565,000 a carat. The lot saw 91 percent of the lots sold. Other stones sold included a 46.72-carat modified-rectangular-cut fancy yellow diamond with SI1 clarity which sold for $602,500 and a diamond necklace by billionaire jeweler Laurence Graff, bought by a private buyer from the Middle East for $410,500.

One lot that doesn't seem to have sold is the diamond pendant necklace with two fancy intense blue pear-shaped rose-cut diamond and a fancy intense pink hexagonal-cut diamond on a platinum chain which was supposed to be part of the auction.
