An exceptional emerald-cut diamond.
A surprise at the end of winter: a beautiful, very beautiful emerald-cut diamond that is worth discovering.
Indeed, this emerald-cut diamond is 100.20 carats, D IF and type IIa! Gemmologists will appreciate this last criterion. In fact, type IIa diamonds are rare; they are the purest. They do not contain nitrogen and have no visible infrared defects. Perfection!
Let’s not forget that the diamond is one of the most popular and sought-after precious stones in the world. With its dazzling beauty and unparalleled brilliance, it’s no surprise that the diamond has been used to create some of the most prestigious and coveted jewelry in history.
Among the many diamond cuts available, the emerald cut is one of the most sought after. This cut is rectangular with cut corners and stepped facets. It should be noted that this cut gives the diamond a smooth and polished appearance. This in turn enhances the clarity and transparency of the stone. Moreover, it also allows for the creation of elegant and timeless jewelry designs.
Furthermore, this size is often used in engagement rings and wedding rings due to its elegant and sophisticated appearance. However, it is important to note that the emerald size requires a high-quality stone to be sparkling. Since diamonds of lower quality could highlight imperfections and inclusions in the stone.
In fact, these emerald-cut diamonds are rarer, which makes them a sought-after gemstone.
It should be noted that originally, this diamond weighed 200 carats rough. It comes from a De Beers mine in South Africa. So, once it was cut, after being extensively studied and polished, it took a year to achieve perfection.
It must be said that to date, only 5 elite stones over 100 carats have been put up for sale. For example, The Mouawad Splendour which is a pear-shaped diamond of 101.84 cts D IF, The Star of Happiness which is a rectangular diamond of 100.36 cts D IF. Again, these three other diamonds The Star of the Season one 100.10 ct pear-shaped diamond D IF, the
The Winston Legacy another pear-shaped diamond of 101.73 cts D F
and finally an oval diamond of 118.28 cts D F.
So it’s an event and could be the ultimate acquisition!
To put it simply, the emerald cut is one of the most sought-after cuts for diamonds due to its elegant and sophisticated appearance. This perfection of nature and man will be put up for sale at Sotheby’s New York on April 21, 2015.
