Christies Is Recession-Proof


I don't want to turn this into an auction blog but when a diamond sells for $24.3 million, I simply must post a picture of it.

This is the Wittelsbach rare blue diamond. It is 35.56 carats and was sold at auction house Christies to diamond dealer Laurence Graff. Once upon a time it belonged to the Infanta Margarita Teresa who received it from her father King Philip IV of Spain on her wedding day.

Elizabeth Taylor is in her wheelchair drooling right now. And for once it's not because of her medication.
