If you are fond of diamonds then you must be familiar with Tiffany Diamond. Needless to say that it is the most precious and rare gem found in the world. This fancy yellow diamond weighted 287.42 carats (57.484 g) roughly when initially discovered in 1878. Originally found in South Africa’s Kimberly mine it first purchased by one Mr. Charles Tiffany for his store collection. Given the shape of cushion, this elegant gem now weighs a little over 128.54 carats (25.90 g) in its present form and has 90 facets out of which 32 are round in nature to increase its shine and brilliance. It took more than a year for Mr. George Kunz to decide upon its cut, as the Diamond is very rare. Owned by world famous Tiffany & Co., this diamond has the design of bird sitting on the rock and was designed in 1960.Now with only a handful of diamonds remaining Tiffany is the most sought after gems in the world.
Tiffany Diamond has a total 82 cuts which is 24 times more than the average diamond. Due to this high cut size the diamond looks all the more radiant and beautiful and these cuts were given with a purpose, just to increase its shine to the maximum. Once the permutations in cutting were completed and the final cut given, the diamond became most sought after and with now Mr. Charles tiffany was referred to as “King of diamonds”
The diamond is so precious and rare that it is not for wearing but has become an antique piece for display. One of the surprising facts about the beautiful diamond is that only two women have worn it in its entire lifetime. Famous celebrity Ms. Sheldon White house and the famous actress Audrey Heyburn were the only two lucky females who could wear it. Ms. Sheldon wore it during Tiffany ball in 1987 and the diamond was mounted on a necklace exclusively for this occasion and Ms Hepburn wore it for a publicity campaign. Through this Diamond, Ms Hepburn had also promoted the movie “Breakfast With Tiffany”. And after this the diamond has never been worn by anybody till date.
Though purchased for a few thousand dollars by Mr. Charles, this beautiful and rare gem is priceless today. The diamond at present indeed not for selling purpose but is being loaned out to museums and other organizations for the public viewing and display.
