I, too, was shocked the Elizabeth Taylor diamond went so low. Granted, $7.8 million is out of MY budget, but I thought that surely that ring would go into the tens of millions. Over 33 carats of D colored potentially flawless diamond? A piece of history? Only $7.8 million? Someone must be doing a happy dance right now that they got such a deal.

Liz Taylor was so know for her amazing jewels. I am not surprised. For someone to get thier hands on a piece, price is no issue.

They are not any of the 99% I guess. LOL.
I would be happy with the catalog!

The catalogues are available for purchase on the Christies website. Volumes 1 and 2 are jewelry. Thinking about getting them.
 
The history of the E.T. diamond is nowhere near the historical importance of La Pérégrina and the Taj Mahal diamond, so I don't find the results unreasonable.
 
Holy cow. I own the "My Love Affair With Jewelry" book and thought I might purchase the auction catalogues too, but at $150.00 there's no way.

Will someone tell me, how much did La Pérégrina end up going for?
