The largest orange diamond has been sold for $35.5m (£23m) at an auction in Geneva.

The sell comes a day after the rare oval-cut vivid pink diamond was auctioned for $83m, said to be the most valuable diamond ever offered.

The quick sell of The Orange makes orange diamonds a precious for diamond collectors.
