The Hope Diamond
The 45.52 carat steel blue Hope Diamond was found
in India back in remote times as a rough crystal weighing 112 carats.
It first came to light when Jean Baptiste Tavernier, the noted French
traveler of the 17th century, was approached in Indian by a slave
who had a very secretive manner about him.
It turned out that he had in his possession an intriguing steel
blue stone which at first look seemed to be a large sapphire, but
the well-experienced Tavernier soon realized it was a diamond –
the largest deep blue diamond in the world.

The Steinmetz Pink Diamond
The Steinmetz Pink is probably the finest pink
diamond in the world presently. It was first unveiled in Monaco
in May, 2003, and briefly worn around the neck of supermodel Helena
Christensen. The gem was discovered in southern Africa and is the
largest Fancy Vivid Pink diamond known in the world. Pink diamonds
are extremely rare and usually found in much, much smaller sizes.
The Steinmetz Pink weighs 59.60 carats and has been graded as Internally
Flawless, an extremely rare and coveted clarity grade. Given its
extraordinary importance, the Steinmetz Group took approximately
20 months to cut the diamond. A team of eight people worked on fashioning
the gem from the 100-carat rough stone. Fifty models were worked
on before the cutting even began. One wrong move and the priceless
diamond would have shattered. The gem's facet pattern is very unique:
it is an oval mixed cut with a step-cut crown and a brilliant cut
pavilion.

The Red Shield Diamond
The William Goldberg Diamond Corporation, famous
for outstanding stones like the Premier Rose and the Guinea Star,
cut this gem from a 13.90-carat rough. They transformed the piece
into a spectacular red diamond weighing 5.11 carats. The GIA states,
"It is the largest Fancy Red, natural color diamond that we
have graded as of the date the report was issued." The stone
is a triangular brilliant, sometimes referred to as a trillion cut.
It was cut sometime in the mid-1990s, so its history is still relatively
uneventful. Sometime around 2001 or 2002 the stone was purchased
by Moussaieff Jewellers Ltd. The firm, while it has no website as
of yet, is renowned for multi-million dollar pieces of jewelry and
has locations in the United States as well as abroad.

The Incomparable Diamond
World largest fancy colored diamond, standing at
407 carat.
The Incomparable was found in its rough state weighing 890 carats,
and was found in the town of Mbuji Mayi in the Democratic Republic
of Congo (formerly Zaire) in the 1980s. It was later purchased in
Antwerp by the Senior De Beers Buyer. As a result, Sir Philip Oppenheimer,
then president of the Central Selling Organization and a De Beers
director, sold it to Donald Zale, chairman of the board of the Zale
Corporation, the Dallas-based jewelry store chain. He bought the
diamond in partnership with Marvin Samuels, of the Premier Gems
Corporation, and Louis Glick, both prominent figures in the New
York diamond industry. The huge stone was finally unveiled in November,
1984, which coincided with the Zale Corporation's 75th anniversary
(their Diamond Anniversary). Shortly afterwards it was put on display
at the Natural History wing of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington
DC.

The Allnatt Diamond
When Porter Rhodes travelled to the Isle of Wight
in 1881 to show to his fine white diamond crystal to Queen Victoria
and Empress Eugénie of France, who was at that time residing
nearby, he helped to dispell a myth: South African diamonds were
usually yellowish in color and therefore less valuable. Both the
Queen but in particular the Empress, who was knowledgable about
diamonds, believed this to be true and were, therefore, surprised
to examine a fine white octahedral crystal originating from the
Cape Mines of South Africa. It was not until the Excelsior was found
in 1893, the Jubilee in 1895 and above all, the discovery of the
Premier Mine in 1902 that South Africa finally achieved recognition
as a source of large white diamonds as well as yellow ones.

The Heart Of Eternity Diamond
This rough diamond was found by an alluvial digger
in the early nineties. It originated in what was then known as Zaire,
now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was purchased there
many years ago by a De Beers buyer on the open market. The stone
has been held in deliberate anticipation of this moment, though
its polishing took more than three years. Its beauty has now been
released by the extraordinary skill of the expert craftsmen, and
international team (South African, Israeli, Belgian & American).
The cutters received the ultimate compliment when former De Beers
Chairman, the late Harry Oppenheimer, undoubtedly the doyen of the
diamond industry and who has probably handled more important diamonds
in his 70-year career than any other person in the world, described
the Millennium Star as "the most beautiful diamond I have ever
seen."

The Ocean Dream Diamond
By virtue of its color alone, the Ocean Dream,
found in central Africa, is one of the very rarest diamonds known
to man. The incredible color of this 5.51 carat diamond is so rare
that many gemologists would presume that it was artificially colored.
There is no record of any other diamond of this extraordinary color
and size. However, following, thorough scientific evaluation, GIA
has concluded that the Ocean Dream’s breathtaking Fancy Deep
blue-green color results from exposure to natural radiation over
millions of years in the Earth.
