Leading Canadian jewelry company Birks in April organized a presentation of a unique fancy yellow diamond weighing 16.01 carats, rimmed with a platinum ring, where a yellow diamond is surrounded by smaller white diamonds, the portal Gemewizard.com.
The ring was put on display in one of the company's retail stores located in the city of Edmonton (Edmonton), after which it will be sent to Calgary.
According to the company, the color of the unique cut diamond Asscher is completely natural, the purity of the stone is classified in the VVS1 category.
Brilliant Birks, of course, is striking and impressive, but it can not be ranked among the world's largest diamonds. In particular, the yellow diamond Tiffany has a weight of 128.54 carats, it was made of a diamond weighing 287 carats. In November 2011, at Sotheby's auction in Geneva, a diamond of the pear-shaped cut Sun-Drop Diamond weighing 110.03 carats was sold. The cost of this stone exceeded $ 10.9 million.
Birks & Mayors is one of the leading retailers that owns 56 luxury jewelry stores in the US and Canada. In Canada, the company operates 30 stores under the Birks brand.
