Bunny Mellon’s rather vast and tasteful collection (furnishings and jewellery) was recently auctioned by Sotheby’s. Mellon was well known as a WASP society mainstay with impeccable taste. This incredible blue diamond pendant, 9.75 carats, VVS2 clarity, potentially internally flawless, sold on November 20 for a rather staggering USD $32,645,000, representing the lion’s share of the total sale amount of $45,046,324.
