The Tiffany Diamond is one of the world’s largest and finest yellow diamonds. Discovered in the Kimberley diamond mines in South Africa in 1877, the 287.42-carat rough stone was acquired the following year by founder Charles Lewis Tiffany. Cut to enhance its brilliant colour rather than size, the finished 128.54-carat diamond sparkles as if lit by an inner flame.
The legendary Tiffany Diamond was set and polished with standards so high, they continue to inspire us today. At over an inch wide, the final cushion-shape brilliant design boasts an unprecedented 82 facets—24 more facets than the traditional 58-facet cut. Suspended from a necklace of white diamonds weighing over 100 total carats, the Tiffany Diamond is not just an incredible feat of craftsmanship—it’s irreplaceable.
