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.
