The 'costliest diamond of the world' is measured by the price paid for a diamond. Depending on your particular criteria, there are several examples.

When money changes hands to represent the costliest diamond...

  • The JCK Marketplace Web site reports that an 84-carat [faceted] diamond sold for US $16.2 million, at "... $191,980 per carat, the highest price per carat ever paid for a white diamond at auction." This auction took place in 2007.
  • At the same auction..."An extremely rare fancy vivid blue pear-shaped diamond, weighing 4.16 cts. and mounted as a ring, ...sold for $4.7 million. The per-carat price was more than $1.1 million, making it the second highest price per carat paid for a colored diamond at auction."
  • In 2010, Reuters reported that "Petra sets record, sells diamond for $35 million" in its headline for the sale of a 507 carat raw diamond.
