Yellow diamond necklace valued at £2m goes on display

A STUNNING yellow diamond necklace estimated to be worth up to £2 million (€2.20m) went on display in Britain yesterday, ahead of a New York sale.

The 100.17 carat diamond-encrusted accessory forms part of the Magnificent Jewels auction, due to take place at Sotheby’s in Manhattan next month.

Other highlights include a Burmese ruby ring and a collection of Kashmir sapphires, with both lots expected to fetch as much as £1 million.
