On October 15th, the New York Christie’s Jewels will auction Gisele’s 3.35 carat colored Sabbadini diamond ring that is expected to fetch between $15,000 to $20,000. She is also unloading a six-carat diamond pendant necklace worth between $120,000 to $150,000. The supermodel has not officially revealed who gave her the items being put up for sale.

A portion of proceeds from the auction will go to the Diamond Empowerment Fund – charity organization, which provides educational funding to diamond-producing countries in Africa

If you watched this year’s Emmy Awards, you have probably noticed the abundance of diamonds. The organizers emphasized the Award’s diamond anniversary with diamond chandelier dangling above the stage and celebrities made fashion statements with bold jewelry.

Fashion winners included Sandra Oh in a stunning Oscar de la Renta retro-style black lace dress with a ribbon sash and an icey 5.5 carats of emerald cut, Bulgari diamonds on each ear. America Ferrara wore Fred Leighton 19th Century diamond flower necklace, paired with 2.5-carat, old mine-cut diamond pendant earrings, a rose-cut cluster bracelet and a 19th century diamond line bracelet. Heidi Klum chose butterfly earrings and Brooke Shields and Nicolette Sheridan dazzled in the season’s hottest colors: fuchsia and plum. The most anticipated appearance was Christina Applegate’s who captured stylists’ attention with fancy colored chandelier earrings and a trendy asymmetrical Reem Acra gown with metallic patches.

A stone, which may become the largest diamond in the world, has been discovered by miners in Letseng Mine in Lesotho (South Africa). The mine is already famous for delivering three of the world’s largest diamonds: the 603-carat Lesotho Promise, the 493-carat Leteng Legacy and the 601-carat Lesotho Brown. The massive 478 carat diamond found recently is the 20th largest rough diamond ever discovered.

The diamond, has the potential to yield a 150 carat cut stone, and could sell for tens of millions of dollars. A similar but smaller-sized rough stone has recently been valued at $12 million. Preliminary examination of the diamond indicates that stone has a remarkable clarity and color. It would be bigger than the 105 carat round-cut Koh-i-Noor diamond, which is part of the British Crown Jewels but still smaller than the Cullinan diamond discovered in 1905, which was 3,106 carats uncut and yielded a teardrop shaped diamond of 530 carats called the Great Star of Africa.

When you watch this year’s 60th Primetime Emmy Awards, pay attention to the decorative chandelier illuminating the green room at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

The chandelier is crafted of more than 3,300 perfectly cut diamonds and worth an estimated $10 million. Handmade in Boston by a team led by HOF jewelry designer Katherine Rosenberg Pineau, the "Hearts On Fire Diamond Chandelier" totals more than 1,000 carats. The three-tiered structure is plated with platinum and has a sleek design consisting of a series of diamond strands illuminated by fiber optics.

The lighting fixture will hang in the center of the 625-square-foot green room, located offstage at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre and accessible only by Emmy nominees and presenters.

If you would like to buy the chandelier for your home it is going to be for sale after the show.
