Recently, it is an 88-carat black diamond, named The Korloff Nior Diamond, that enjoys a "special treatment" as an exhibition. As for its size, many may not hold an intuitive concept of 88 carats. Actually, it is equivalent to a half dollar coin in diameter, which is quite amazing! As for its value, many may be left breathless. It is worth about $37 million, which is considered a precious treasure. It is commendable that its appearance at the third China International Import Expo in Shanghai will be its maiden exhibition in China, even in East Asia, on the ground that it is rarely exhibited to the public. Therefore, it becomes the main attraction of this import expo even before its presence.
The gem is every inch of a special and precious existence. After all, most people acquiesce that it is transparent or white when it comes to natural diamonds, while few know that there is another type - black diamond. One of the reasons lies in its little production. Almost all the black diamonds discovered so far come from Brazil or the Central African Republic. That's why The Korloff Nior Diamond - the black diamond with such a big size, becomes more precious. What is more interesting is that this rare black diamond bears a matchable legend.
The original rough diamond is said to have weighed 200 carats. It is first owned by the Korloff Sapojnikoff family, members of the Russian nobility. However, due to the world-wide turmoil, it was later purchased by Daniel Paillasseur, the founder of the Jorloff Jewelers of France, from whom the diamond got its name in the 1970s.
Owing to its excellent quality, it entailed more carefulness in the processing of the diamond, which is said to have taken many years from the beginning of processing to the completion of cutting. The diamond has been cut twice. It was cut to 110 carats for the first time, and then was grinded and polished by experienced craftsmen with exacting proportions and symmetry. The diamond it is today has 57 facets with lots of luster. The legendary natural black diamond has since been on display at Korloff’s flagship store in Paris, making it one of the brand’s ultimate talismans.
