RAPAPORT... Chow Tai Fook will unveil a round, brilliant-cut, 104-carat, D color, internally flawless diamond named the Cullinan Heritage 1 in honor of its 85th anniversary on November 28.
 The diamond (pictured) will be showcased alongside other diamonds that were cut from the same 507.55-carat, type IIA rough diamond known as the Cullinan Heritage, which the company purchased in 2010 for $35.5 million.
The company's master craftsmen have spent the past three years at facilities in South Africa analyzing and perfecting the best approach to cutting and polishing the diamond. The stone is graded by Forevermark and will be set as jewelry uniquely designed for Chow Tai Fook by a world-renowned jewelry artist to be revealed at the anniversary celebration.
“The Cullinan Heritage jewelry by Chow Tai Fook will stand the test of time as the embodiment of our values: sharing the beauty of Chinese culture with the world, producing works of only the highest quality and imbuing each of our creations with novelty, excitement and the pursuit of perfection," said Henry Cheng, the chairman of Chow Tai Fook.
The Cullinan mine in South Africa is famous for its large and important diamonds, including the 3,106.75-carat Cullinan, the world's largest rough diamond. The Cullinan Heritage is the largest of its grade to have been recovered at the mine since 1986.
