Why Kashmir Sapphires Keep Getting Harder to Find — One Stone, Three Auctions, 25 Years, and a 687% Rise

The Regent Kashmir, 35.09 carats, unheated, Royal Blue, Kashmir origin, has appeared at Christie's three times: New York in 2000, Geneva in 2015, Hong Kong in 2025. Its per-carat price rose from USD 34,650 to USD 272,810 over 25 years, a gain of 687%. Behind that number is a straightforward reality: the mines were exhausted in the 1880s, and every Kashmir sapphire in existence today was mined within a window that closed over a century ago.
