The extremely rare and supremely magnificent Pink Diamond - the same one as referred to in the classic Pink Panther films (and more recently in the Pink Panther slots game) - will be up for sale next month at Sotheby's.
With an estimated street value of a record-breaking £24 million, the 25 carat diamond might even fetch more on auction day. With a beautiful pastel pink glow this diamond is hailed as one of the greatest diamonds ever.
Diamonds have a long and sometimes surprising history, and in their time have been used as decorations on saucepans, to keep the Black Death at bay, and were worn by Roman soldiers for strength as they were believed to be the dried tears of the gods.
It was only in the 15th century when a Hapsburg emperor gifted his fiance with a diamond engagement ring that these most precious of stones became commonly associated with weddings.
So if you have £24M to spare and you've been looking for such a diamond to adorn your pinkie why not book a seat at the auction next month and get in on the bidding for this beauty.
If your personal fortune isn't quite enough as yet then do the next best thing and play the excellent Pink Panther slots game and join in the hunt for the Pink Diamond. You won't be able to put the ring on your finger, but with a treasure trove of bonus games and a few lucky spins, you might get lucky and spin up a small fortune of your own!
