At Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels Auction in Geneva a Pejmani ring proved to be the top seller. The exquisite piece with an 8.02ct Fancy Pink pear-shaped diamond was sold for $1.32 million.

Pejmani is a relatively new player in high-end jewellery. According to the spokesman of the Belgium-based company, Pejmani jewels acquire their uniqueness by the exceptional creation process; the entire design and manufacturing of the jewels is done in-house. Another singularity is the fact that Pejmani designers are not dependent on the supply of the diamond market, as all diamonds are polished by the company itself.
