IN GEMOLOGY NEWS:
What is rarer than a round D-color
flawless diamond? The Millennium Star of course!
 |
Unveiled in London
this past New Year's Eve by De Beers, this rare 203.04 ct,
flawless, D-colored diamond is the largest top color, pear-shaped
diamond in the world. Along with the Millennium Star, the
"Heart of Eternity " a 27.64 ct vivid blue heart-shaped
diamond is on display. The Millennium collection boasts ten
other exceptionally rare blue diamonds, cut in a variety of
shapes that weigh a total 188 carats |
.The De
Beers Millennium jewels will be on public display in London
at a giant exhibition center named The Dome (Millennium
Dome) until the end of 2000. If you haven't been to London
yet, now maybe a perfect time to visit and view this spectacular
display never seen before in the history of diamonds. De Beers
is uncertain as to what it will do with the collection after the
exhibit and any discussion of value is "academic" since
this collection is unprecedented. Can you put a price on these
diamonds?
