The Marie-Thérèse Pink: A Diamond with Royal Blood and Auction Heat

Yo, You Ever See a Diamond Fit for a Queen?
By Richie D’Errico

Alright, listen up — I seen a lotta rocks in my day. Big ones, sparkly ones, even a few that made grown men cry. But this one? This Marie-Thérèse Pink diamond? Fuhgeddaboudit. We're talkin’ a 10.38-carat, kite-shaped, fancy purple-pink diamond — rare as they come. They say it was mined from the old Golconda fields in India — same place that produced the Hope Diamond. Pure old-world magic, passed down from Marie Antoinette to her daughter Marie-Thérèse. That ain’t just a stone — that’s a slice of royal bloodline in crystal form.

And the way this thing’s been set? It's unreal. Designed by the legend himself, Joel Arthur Rosenthal — JAR. He built it into a statement ring, mounted in a soft-pink metal with a diamond-studded fleur-de-lis on top — real French royalty vibes. The setting cradles the diamond like it knows exactly what it's holdin’. It’s bold, delicate, and dramatic all at once. The kind of ring you stare at for a full minute before you even blink.

Now here’s the kicker — this gem’s hittin’ the auction block at Christie’s in New York on June 17. And the buzz? It’s loud. Everyone from collectors to royals to hedge-fund guys with too much money are circlin’. The estimate’s sittin’ between $3 and $5 million, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it blows right past that. This ain’t just another Tuesday at the auction — this is history up for grabs.

You don’t need royal lineage to wear somethin’ unforgettable — you just need the right jeweler. But for now, let’s give this one its flowers: a pink diamond, centuries old, once worn by queens — and still stoppin’ the world in its tracks.
