Gardenia Ring

$1,500,000

Diamond Gardenia ring — a sculpted gardenia blossom pavé-set in diamonds, with diamond accents on the back that only the wearer sees. Originally from Ellen Barkin's collection (Christie's New York, October 2006), it resold for $1.5 million against a $385,000 high estimate at Christie's Geneva Magnificent Jewels, 11 November 2014 — more than three times its 2006 price. This is the ring that inspired the auction subplot in the first Sex and the City film. Market-priced at auction — the figure shown reflects recent auction results.
