SOME may have pooh-poohed whether it would ever be sold, but a 'lucky' bidder has snapped up Brisbane's most infamous ring.

A West Australian became the new owner of a 1.53-carat yellow diamond ring on Monday night, after successfully placing a bid of $16,000.

The GraysOnline auction came down to the wire, with last minute bids adding $2000 to the ring's selling price.

The ring, valued at $27,000, was one of two swallowed by David Watts after he allegedly stole the jewels from Crown Family Jewellers at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre in November.

The auctioned ring was returned to the store by police after Watts underwent a colonoscopy earlier this month.

The other ring was accidently thrown out by police while Watts was in custody.

Embarrassment for Queensland police today. Forced to admit they've bungled the stolen diamonds case. Officers were waiting for the alleged robber to pass the rings, but they didn't keep their eyes on where it went

Crown Family Jewellers spokeswoman Francesca Antonaglia-Monteverde said proceeds from the auction for the 1.53-carat yellow diamond would go to the Leukaemia Foundation.

"This is a unique ring," Ms Antonaglia-Monteverde told The Courier-Mail.

"From the mine to the jeweller to the cutters to the designers, down someone's throat."
