TORONTO, Sept. 8 /CNW/ -
The News: Today in London, England, De Beers, the world's largest
diamond producer, unveiled a diamond collection called the
Millennium Jewels - the rarest and most valuable collection
in the history of the diamond industry gathered together in
celebration of the Millennium. It includes one of the finest
diamonds ever discovered, the 203 carat De Beers Millennium
Star. This stone is the largest internally and externally
flawless, top colour (D colour), pear shaped diamond in the
world. The Millennium Jewels also feature eleven
exceptionally rare blue diamonds weighing a total of 116
carats, including the 27 carat, heart-shaped stone, The
Heart of Eternity. It has taken De Beers several years to
amass a collection of this type, unlikely ever to be seen
again in our lifetime. In fact, blue diamonds are so rare
that only one significant blue stone is mined every year,
and they represent less than .1% of all diamonds mined. The
collection is unpriced.
