Diamonds are not only a girl’s best friend, they also may be an investor’s best bet.
The day after last year’s October stock market crash, a single unmounted 64.83 carat, pear-shaped diamond pendant sold at Christie’s for a world record price of $6.38 million.
The buyers were Shlomo and Alisa Moussaieff, London-based jewelers whose clients have included Richard Burton, Imelda Marcos, Stavros Niarchos, the sisters of the late Shah of Iran, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Joan Collins.
The Moussaieffs own and run the London Hilton Jewelers. but the real action takes place in a small back room where they create dazzling pieces that sell for half a million dollars and more.
