Auction Guesstimate, page-9

I assume we're all talking USD.

I'll be conservative and say $65M for the lot, noting some media reports expect the pink alone to push $100M.

Given the shape of the 160 ct white, I expect interest in that one to surprise on the upside. I doubt we'll get told individual prices, however.

Also wouldn't surprise me to see some lots not meet reserve, noting it is a tender rather than an auction.

Consider this sale 16 months ago for USD 21.4M.

Four of the white ones line up almost exactly

160 / 144 ct
131 / 131 ct
113 / 113 ct
45 / 44 ct

Then the 40ct pink is now 4+ times the size,
the 118 brown vs the 81 ct white
the 27ct pink vs the 65 ct white
OR
67ct of pink in 2 stones vs 171ct of pink in one stone and
118ct of brown in one stone vs 146ct of white in two stones. Is the $/ct much different for brown and white?

I dare say a fair proportion of that sale was the pink ones. Anything less than $20M USD total would be very disappointing when the quality of what's on offer is compared to the June 2021 sale.
