128 Carat Tiffany Diamond

The Montpelier Times reports on this exhibition showing an array of dazzling pendants, earrings, and bracelets comes the piece de resistance: the 128-carat Tiffany Diamond, one of the largest yellow diamonds in the world.

The gigantic gem is the show-stopper of "Bejewelled by Tiffany" at the Gilbert Collection, one of three galleries located at London's Somerset House on the Thames River.

The Tiffany & Co.-sponsored exhibit, which opens this weekend, uses jewels to trace the history of the celebrated American brand that has become synonymous with glamour.

The collection includes about 180 pieces that cover the first 150 years of Tiffany's history up to 1987, almost all of which have been loaned from the corporation's archives.

Ideal Cut Diamond Engagement Ring!

This customer ordered one of our beautiful SuperbCert Super Ideal Cut Diamonds to be set in a Vatche Royal X Prong Channel Diamond setting!!

(Previoulsy, I posted pics. of the Vatche Comfort Fit Diamond channel just completed and also being shipped out today. That style features a slightly thicker shank than the Royal X prong which has a more distinctive taper where it reaches the basket. Take a look at, and compare the diamond ring photos in these two threads and you will see the differences.)

Here are a few pictures of the result...which does not do any justice to the true beauty of this diamond engagement ring!!

Rough Daimonds

We see gorgeous loose diamonds and diamond engagement rings in a jewelry showcase and we just assume that it always looked that way.

Not true.

Creating a gorgeous and brilliant diamond from the diamond rough is no small feat and requires the expert skill and patience of a master diamond cutter. There are 58 facets that need to be cut into a piece of diamond in the rough, in order to transform it into the beautiful diamond you are used to looking at. Additionally, the way that the diamond cutter fashions these facets is crucial in determining how brilliant and dispersive the polished diamond is going to be.

Daimond Engagement Ring

The owner of the largest colorless diamond ever sold at auction in Asia has named this stone The Shizuka Diamond. Christie’s sold the 101.27 carat, F color, VVS1 shield shape diamond in May 2008 for $6.21 million.

Lucida Daimonds

The Lucida diamond is made from the same rough as a well-cut round. Created by Tiffany's gemologists, the cut is similar to the Asscher and antique Cushion Cuts. Tiffany showcases the Lucida cut in a special four-prong ring shown below. The sculptural band has clean lines and soft curves that merge with the prongs in a sloping crisscross design, which, when viewed from the side, is reminiscent of cathedral arches.
