126cts Rough Diamond The irregular shape of this 126.92cts rough diamond suggests that it was once part of a much larger rough diamond formed over 800 million years ago, separated during its 300 kilometre journey to the surface of the earth. This rough diamond was mined by De Beers and is graded as a D/E colour diamond. Its exceptional white colour portrays the beauty of nature. The diamond exhibits an extremely rare transparency and is perfectly pure due to the lack of nitrogen molecules present. A pear shape in excess of 40 carats is one of the best possible polished outcomes.
From Rough To Polished A beautiful polished diamond always begins with a beautiful rough. Each rough diamond will experience a unique journey from the earth's core to the surface and only one in a million diamonds weigh above 1 carat. They are formed over billions of years, under extremely high temperatures in the depths of the earth. The organic shape of the rough diamond determines the final polished shape. The emotional connection developed through the journey of the diamond from rough to polished is a mark of our mastery and knowledge as the Home of Diamonds since 1888.
