“The Graff Vendôme” 105.07ct D Flawless Pear Shaped Diamond

 

Graff Diamonds have just unveiled their latest D-flawless Pear shaped diamond weighing in at a stonking 105.07-carats. It has been named the “Graff Vendôme” after its new showroom at Place Vendôme in Paris.

The diamond was cut from a 314-carat rough that was recovered in May 2015 at Gem Diamonds’ Letšeng mine, that was named “The Destiny” and sold into a partnership in June of that year according to a statement by the miner.

The stone was cut and polished by Graff’s own master cutters, who first used a 3D computerised mapping system to plan the cut and then laser-cut and hand-polished the stone over many months.

The rough stone also yielded 12 other diamonds, the largest of which was 17.1 carats. Nine of them were of D-flawless quality.

Graff has declined to put a value on the stone as of now.

I personally think it would make a great pendant!!
