Purchased by Hong Kong buyer Joseph Lau, billionaire owner of property firm Chinese Estates Holdings, the diamond weighs in at a staggering 12.03 carats and is of a remarkable blue color. The record-breaking sale of the ‘Blue Moon’ diamond took place at a Sotheby’s auction in Geneva and was promptly renamed the ‘Blue Moon of Josephine’ for the buyer’s 7-year-old daughter. According to the auctioneer David Bennett, the gem is the “highest price per carat” ever paid for any type of stone. The previous world record transaction for the most expensive diamond was the 24.78-carat Graff Pink, which was also sold by Sotheby’s back in 2010 for $46.2 million USD.

SILLY THING x MILK x Reebok Instapump Fury 20th Anniversary
After checking out INVINCIBLE’s tropical take on the Reebok Instapump Fury for the shoe’s 20th anniversary, we’re back with a look at SILLY THING‘s take on the silhouette. For this collaboration SILLY THING chose a color palette of silver, blue and black to contrast against white, the signature color of its publication MILK. A dash of bright silver across the inflatable panels and toe box highlight the still-revolutionary look of the shoe and plays upon its ‘high-tech’ appearance, while a base of deep blue and black ensures that all eyes stay focused on the groundbreaking design. Look for these when they reach MILK and Reebok Certified Network retailers on May 31.
