Graff have taken the Lesedia La Rona rough diamond (1,109 carats) on an incredible journey. Having acquired the largest rough diamond discovered in over 100 years, the second largest in history, Graff master craftsmen began meticulous planning to create a spectacular collection of jewels.
Initially cutting and polishing 66 exquisite satellite diamonds and planning for one principal diamond of unprecedented size, Graff’s world leading team of gemmologists and master polishers spent 18 months expertly planning, cutting and polishing the rough diamond using pioneering technologies, ultimately resulting in an historic moment in diamond history - The Graff Lesedi La Rona, 302.37 carats. The world’s largest highest colour, highest clarity square emerald cut diamond ever certified by the Gemological Institute Of America (GIA).
“My love affair with diamonds is life-long, and crafting the Graff Lesedi La Rona has been an honour - it is beyond words.” - LAURENCE GRAFF

Hats off to the historic gem cutters ...who did not have the technology we have today... and still produced incredible stones... that monarchies did whatever they could to possess them.
Yes hatsoff to the hestoric gem cutters...
Truly spoken
True like the cullinan diamond 💎
14 out of 15 diamonds cut and polish in India
AMEN
I could Never Imagine holding a diamond that size!! Just amazing to watch how they cut them now! Back in the day they had to use a hammer, chisel a steady hand and a prayer!!
james it’s just a rock... a material possession doesn’t give you anything. At death you certainly don’t take it. If I had that rock I
Would toss it in the ocean. It’s worthless in my eyes. People just put price tags in things for their benefit not caring much about ruining the earth in the process.
We still need a prayer when I start my LaserJet cutting machine; what makes it worse, I'm an atheist ;)
Yeah... You're right!
@@nsr5961 And there is a reason you will never have a stone of beauty like this
When I was a twelve year old collector of gems in 1957, my dad left me off in front of Harry Winston's on 5th Avenue. I walked in and asked if I could see the Hope diamond. That was before Winston donated it to the Smithsonian museums. They sat me down at one of the tables where customers sit and eventually a man came with a flat leather case. They opened it and there was the Hope in its necklace. I held it up and felt it for a while. Then they gave me a short tour of the cutting rooms and gave me a small cut diamond that has lost a section during cutting.
Exquisite beauty, unparalleled to any other gem stone; beautifully cut, and so mesmerising to look at. Well done.
Euggh wouldnt say so
This is a masterpiece. Every time I watch this video, I am in awe. I can't wait to see what they do with every piece of it. I hope they make some sort of suite out of it!
Because ur awe it's abndon for most people in world , in reality its not that rare to price so high
World's best gemstones are here👇

I'm really glad that almost none of it was wasted and they really got as many smaller diamonds out of the parts they cut away for the big diamond. 66 smaller diamonds! Remarkable.
i wont tu sell my daimon . 918866528006.my watsapp number

Who would waste money?
It almost brings you to tears to see something so beautiful
It's so gorgeous and stunning!
Although the diamond is stunning after it is cut, there is a beauty in it's natural state
MAGNIFICENT!!!
I hope to see it someday!

What an amazing jewel! Those gentlemen outdid themselves working this stone. It does make you wonder, before computer generated models and measurements and laser guided cutting, how did traditionally skilled gem cutters create some of the masterpieces that they did? Clearly this art of transformation is a love or passion that guides the gem cutters' vision, whatever they are given to work with.
Absolutely magnificent!
My father was a manufac touring jeweller - his hobby - he cut diamonds, before everything was computerised. He had some beautiful diamonds. And the best part was he found them himself - an avid fossicker.
Coolest job ever!
So your father was a lapidary?
Full dipresstion market 😇 Dr shatri ( Andheri west )
I can understand because I'm also a diamond polisher😅@@vikeshshah401
Stunningly gorgeous WOW!!,,,,, LOVE IT.
Rose from titanic: would look good in the ocean
I'd sketch a portrait of her wearing just that ❤️
@@Ab_someone ahahaha
Yeah, wasn’t that the dumbest scene? She could have sold it at auction then donated the proceeds in honor of Jack Dawson. What good does it do in the ocean? That wasn’t romantic, it was idiocy.
@@DonaldDump2024 Tis a woman.
@@DonaldDump2024 okkkkk
That is the one I've been waiting on.😉
Talk about solid as a rock!
Wow simply amazing, the technology and handcraft that goes behind that diamond is amazing. Let’s keep in mind that diamonds are the world most hard stone.
Full dipresstion market 😇
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 🤗💫💎
Amazing team work to get the perfect gem 💎
Incredible....Love this...

Underrated
Good one!
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!💎👑
What gauge wire would you use for the prongs?
I'm dumbfounded. Mouth hanging open.
BEAUTIFUL!
Lovely masterpiece.
Wish to see this diamond in Basel once)So beautiful!
Beautifully faceted!
It's amazing to be that this used to be done before modern technology.
Their using some serious technology most people use a diamond saw and facet it and polish it down
@@quantum7690 I think he was saying people way back use to do this without the technology in the video
@@bluewidow9151 yeah i know
The technology that’s around now has been around for thousands of years it’s recycled. Nothing new under the sun
@@mrnobody2523 oh, I see. I didn't realize that people had been analyzing gemstones with computers for thousands of years.
Beautiful presentation.
Nice work it’s beautiful 🌹
I'm so happy and grateful. Diamond life. Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
So beautiful 💎
Keep up the good work :)

Congrats looks great. I would of done a 700 CT cushion lol
Mark Sofiev that would’ve been amazing to see lol
De o frumusețe ancestrală ....💎
😍😍Excelente trabalho realizado.👍👍👏👏O transformou em uma pedras incrível.👏👏👏
Elizabeth Taylor, would have had gag had she been alive to see this diamond. Imagine going for a walk in the park with that rock. Talk about a cocktail piece. Stunning. I'll just wait and see who buys it. Lucky person investor :)
No one will buy that. It’s too large to do anything with, unless ofcourse you want it in a scepter for which no one will have any use. 😂
And Elizabeth Taylor said specifically her carat weight cap was 80ct. “After that you can’t wear them”.
LaDivinaLover: Oh, some filthy rich person will definitely buy it. Many wealthy people enjoy spending BIG on things that give them bragging rights. Owning this stone guarantees bragging rights. Of course, there are also reclusive obscenely rich people who spend BIG on rare items because they want to possess something so rare.
@@cw5451 not just that, a stone like this is a good investment
Stone like that (any quality diamonds really, it’s their principle purpose) have only one use, making wealth portable and concealable.
@@grendelum you're so right: "making wealth portable and concealable".

Amazing Amazing Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful 🤗
Such a large Labgrown diamond. 🤩
My favorite of all the designs
I have a question. During the "sandpaper" phase, where does the excess material go? it gets lost?
Used for other industry like cutting heavy metal needs diamond, and also diamond dust is useful too. There are many ways to recycle a diamond trash. Any cutting equipment has diamond now.
@@freddaltons4682 thanks interesting!
As recession fears mount on Wall Street and inflation remains
well above the Fed's 2% target, some of the top commentators in
markets, business, and economics have been sounding off on just
how bad they think the next downturn might be - and how far
stocks may have to fall. I need ideas and advice on what investments
to make to set myself up for retirement, my goal is to have a portfolio
of at least $850k at the age of 60
It's precisely at times like these that investors need to be on
guard against the next certainty. You don't have to act on
every forecast, hencei will suggest you get yourself a
financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit
points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
@@leonardmorris1731 I agree. Based on personal experience working with an
investment advisor, I currently have $385k in a
wel-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential
growth. It's not only about having money to invest in stocks,
but you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have
strong hands to back it up.
@Oscar Douglas Sure, the investment-advisor that guides me
is SALLY LUIS , she popular and has lots of experience in the crypto markets , so it shouldn't be a hassle to find her,

Spectacular beauty :)
Belo trabalho...
has it been sold/ who owns it now? A truly extraordinary stone.

*Diamonds fascinate me*
Breathtaking.
Botswana surly has quality diamonds.. Lesedi La Rona "OUR LIGHT" it would be nice if the diamonds had the country of Origin engraved on it or something..I am sure the Motswana Man who found it would be happy to take a picture with the final piece of what was one of the top 5 biggest diamonds in the world.
Sheer perfection.
Really nice piece of diamond.👌🔷👌🔷👌🔷.
Beautiful
What a fantastic video on how & all the work that goes into cutting and exploiting the absolute maximum out of the Diamond 💎 best video I've seen on this kind of Workmanship and what goes into it. All I could afford to buy my Girl would be the shavings that fell onto the Machine floor.🤣👍
Show...belo trabalho...
🙏 just wondering how much that would be price in marker??.. beautiful diamond 💎😘..
Elizabeth Taylor's " Burton Taylor " Diamond is nothing compared to this 300 carat masterpiece. Roughly 4 or 5 times bigger than the Burton Taylor Diamond. If I had Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates kind of deep pockets in a heart beat. It is truly just so beautiful and perfect. A precious beauty that's for sure. Nature and technology in the palm of your hands. Spectacular!
A shiny rock given a high inflated value by De Beers Sa corporation, who control everything about diamonds, from mining to polishing; they also keep them rare so the price is always high.

Adam Ruins Everything?
Nope - large diamonds are rare
The amount of earth that has been cleared in search of diamonds, no they are not rare even very large ones there are truck loads stored in vaults, and trickled out to maintain rarity, if the majority of the public really knew how many and how large diamonds can be it would devalue their product. Just look at diamond sales the day after Christmas, slashed by half price, and they don't even hold value if you try to sell them second hand, it all about buying new, expensive, fresh cut diamonds.
Me encantan las piedras lamentablemente no tengo recursos para ir a una parte donde pueda encontrar piedras preciosas 😔
Where can you see this beauty for public display? Or is it stowed away in the Graff private collection?
Great job 👍
Magnificent..!!!
Those stock sound effects on top of a stock ""epic"" soundtrack make this rock look like a toy
Great video!
Wow 😳 masterpiece
It is magical.
THAT was amazing! I'd love to be able to look at that stone under a microscope or a loupe
A. #1. GLASS. EYE. YOU. MEAN. LOL 😎🍻
I remember watching a similar video of his from a long time ago, it was beautiful but I cannot find it. Where he was talking over it saying how it's unprecedented to find such a gem.
this was well done.
imagine holding hundreds of millions of dollars in your palm
Billions
Meh.... you get used to it :D
and then scratching it with another diamond
@@IzzyHaveMercy Why are you talking like you're a billionaire?
@@he-dp3mk I’m talking like a laser operator who cuts these stones for a living. Why do you think I am a billionnaire?
Congratulations perfect gems cutting 💎💎💎💎💎💍💍💍💍💍
Bellissimo splendido meraviglioso diamante di elevate carature degno di una regina cantautrice capitani Gabriella
Is this showcased where we can view it?
Mas que linda pedra

Rick: I have to research

zawsze mnie ciekawiło jak się szlifierz decyduje aby pociąć duzy kawałek kamienia na mniejsze. Czym się kieruje, jak tnie.
Laser to chyba ogromne ułatwienie w dzisiejszym czasie.
Perfect for a casual cocktail ring.
