On Tuesday, Christie’s auction house in New York sold a rare 9-carat pink diamond for $15.7 million! The diamond belonged to the estate of philanthropist and reclusive heiress Huguette M. Clark. The cushion-cut ring, known as “The Clark Pink,” set a record for the most valuable pink diamond sold in the United States. Want the same look? Read on…. While the beauty of the ring is undeniable, the price tag is a bit much for us non-heiress types. The alternative: Rose quartz. The pink-colored crystal is much more abundant and is known as the heart-healing gemstone.  Pink quartz is a great stone to add to your jewelry collection while adding a bit of Summer to your wardrobe. Italian designer Roberto Coin creates a dazzling pink quartz necklace available at Roman Jewelers! The 18kt white gold piece features a multi-faceted stone set in a .10 ct. diamond cap. John Hardy, one of our Sales Staff’s favorite designers, also designs using pink quartz in rings, bracelets and pendants.
