It should be noted that this discovery was made in February 2020 in Botswana, in the Karowe mine owned by Lucara Diamond Corp. The most important aspect of this mine is that it produces impressive exceptional IIa-type diamonds. These diamonds have the unique characteristic of being chemically pure, identical to the historical Golconde diamonds.

Lucara Diamond Corp. operates with complete transparency, in strict compliance with the best international practices in terms of sustainability. But also in terms of health and safety, the environment, and inter-community relations.

In keeping with its long tradition of customization, Louis Vuitton The client’s wishes will be taken into account when shaping this rare specimen of natural diamond. It should be noted that the diamonds will be cut, polished and mounted on order for a bespoke Haute Joaillerie experience.
