Story® Presents the World's Most Famous Diamonds
The
GREAT CHRYSANTHEMUM
104.15
carats
| This
pear-shaped diamond
was cut from a 198.28
carat brown rough
supposedly found
in South Africa
in 1963. Julius
Cohen, a New York
City dealer, bought
the rough and had
it cut to reveal
the diamond's rich
golden-brown, chrysanthemum-like
color. In 1971,
the diamond was
exhibited at the
Kimberly Centenary
Exhibition in South
Africa. The diamond
also was shown in
the Diamonds-International
Academy Collection
at the Diamond Pavilion
in Johanesburg in
1965. Recently,
Julius Cohen sold
the GREAT CHRYSANTHEMUM
to an undisclosed
foreign buyer. |
