What is the history of the first auction of precious blue diamonds?
A precious blue diamond named "Farnese Blue" will be auctioned at Sotheby's next month. It is reported that this diamond has been circulated among European royal families for 300 years, which will be the first time it has been auctioned.

"farnese Blue Diamond" is dark gray-blue and weighs 6. 1 carat. It was mined from the Golconda diamond mine in India. 17 15, "farnese blue diamond" was presented to its earliest owner, Elizabeth Farnese, the daughter of the Duke of Palma. At that time, Isabella married King Philip V of Spain.

Later, "farnese Blue Diamond" was handed down from generation to generation by the Spanish royal family. As the descendants of the royal family married other royal families in Europe, it was brought from Spain to France, Italy and Austria.

According to the auction house, "farnese Blue Diamond" has been hidden in a royal jewelry box for many years, and no one knows its existence except the owner's close relatives and family jewelers.

Yes, I hope everyone can afford their own blue diamonds.
