The Bulgari Emerald Pendant Brooch sold last December at Christies Auction House for an amazing $6,578,500 (£4.15 million). The beautiful green emerald centre stone weighs 23.46 in carat weight making each carat worth $280,000 (176,634) per carat.

 

The rectangular shaped emerald stone originates from Columbia and was beautifully made into a brooch. The emerald is surrounded by pear shaped diamonds, each beautifully arranged to create this unique brooch. The brooch has a rich heritage as it was part of Elizabeth Taylor’s fine collection of jewels, given to her in 1962 by Richard Burton to celebrate their engagement.
