RAPAPORT... Harrods unveiled “one of the world’s rarest” diamonds which will go on display this month for the first time.
The pear-shaped, 228.31-carat, G-color, VS1-clarity polished
diamond will be available to view by appointment at the department store in
Knightsbridge, London, from mid-December.
The ‘Harrods Diamond’ has been “hiding” in the store’s
vault, Harrods said, adding that it has “splendid cut, lustrous polish and
exceptional symmetry.”
“It is rare that stones of this weight, cut, polish and
symmetry are sold outside auction, so this is an exceptional opportunity for
Harrods’ customers and a very exciting moment in Harrods’ history,” said Helen
David, chief merchant at Harrods. |
