Cut and polished from the 1,109-carat Lesedi La Rona rough diamond, the Graff Lesedi La Rona is the largest square emerald cut diamond in the world. Revealed recently by Graff, the massive stone weighs 302.37 carats and boasts the largest highest (top D) color and highest clarity diamond ever graded by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
Known for finding the world’s most extraordinary diamonds, Graff made history once again after finding the stone in Botswana’s Lucara Karowe mine. The massive 1,109-rough diamond was purchased by Graff for $53 million but presented challenges due to its size and structure.
