Top 10 diamonds in the world


1. Cullinan. On January 21, 1905, a 3,106-carat diamond rough stone was found in a South African diamond mine, which was named "Cullinan" after the mine manager. Since South Africa was a British colony at that time, on February 10, 1908, the diamond was cut into several large pieces and processed. The total amount of the finished diamond is 1,063.65 carats, all of which belongs to the British Crown. The largest DIAMOND, Cullinan 1, also known as the Star of Africa, WEIGHS 530.02 carats. The 530.02 carat diamond, which has a drop shape, 74 facets and is crystal perfect, was set on the scepter of the King of England, while its African Star Cousins were set on the crowns of the Queen of England and Queen Mary respectively.

2. Braganza. Discovered in 1725, IT is the largest diamond ever found in Brazil. It is nearly colorless, with only a slight yellow color, and weighs 1,680 carats.

3. An unnamed large diamond. In 1919, a diamond weighing 1500 carats was found in the Premere mine, and the color was similar to Cullinan. Therefore, some people thought that it and Cullinan were broken from the same large crystal, so the diamond was not specially named.
