A MAGNIFICENT SQUARE-CUT DIAMOND RING
Set with a square-cut diamond weighing approximately 30.21 cts., flanked on each side by a triangular-cut diamond, mounted in platinum
With certificate 10167343 from the Gemological Institute of America stating that the diamond is D color (colorless) and Internally Flawless
What determines the selection of a diamond as a "notable" stone? Is it size, quality or provenance? Perhaps all three, but quality ranks above the others because without it, a stone will never pass the test of time, that is, be remembered a hundred years from now as an important gem. This diamond, weighing 30.21 carats, has been certified by the Gemological Institute of America as being of D color (colorless) and Internally Flawless. Thus, size and quality make it a major stone, but in this instance it is the character of the stone that is so spectacular. The square cut is rarely seen in large stones and when this shape is seen in this size, there is no question that it takes on an individual presence no other stone can match.
