Re: Worlds Most Expensive Diamonds
Excellent post. Just imagine if the Cullinan was auctioned off and the proceeds used to provide medical care and food to some of the African people. That money would go a long way provided it was distributed by the Red Cross or something and not the corrupt government or diamond mine officials.

Re: Worlds Most Expensive Diamonds
here's one i set a short while back....not quite in the league of the ones mentioned above but still a beauty 8.8ct, D colour, internally flawless... sold for a cool £880 000... it was a good day at work for sure.....i sweated A LOT when setting it....even though it's difficult to crack a diamond, especially a flawless stone it's still nerve wracking when i have to hammer metal over the edge of something that costs so much... it was just a shitty simple setting as the client was headed off on their yacht for summer and wanted to take it with them.....which means we'll be re-designing the setting and remounting the stone again soon |
