Lucapa Diamond Company has released the polished results of a 46-carat pink rough it sold into a manufacturing partnership with Safdico. A heart-shaped, 15.2-carat, fancy-intense-orangey-pink, VVS1-clarity diamond is one of three stones Safdico cut from the largest gem-quality, colored diamond ever recovered from Lucapa’s Lulo operation in Angola, the miner said Thursday. The cutting-and-polishing unit also produced two pear-shaped diamonds weighing 3.3 and 2.3 carats. Under the terms of the partnership, Lucapa will get a percentage of the polished sale price.

118.78 Carat D Flawless Heart Shape. The largest, most perfect heart shape diamond ever created. The Venus was unearthed as a 357carat rough diamond in the Maluti mountains of Lesotho.

Ranked as one of the largest diamond ever found, the Letseng Legacy was named to reflect the growing legacy that the Letseng Mine is creating as a producer of significant diamonds. One year after the successful acquisition of the Letseng Legacy, a 193 carat rough diamond mined at the Letseng Mine in Lesotho, Safdico unveiled the finished product: 20 polished diamonds, all stemming from the same rough stone. A historical matching pair of 50 carat pearshapes, a 35 carat round brilliant and another matching pair of pearshapes of 15 carats is the result of yet another technological feat. In total more than 225 carats of polished diamonds were crafted from the Letseng Legacy..

Cut by Safdico in New York from a 27.92ct rough stone, the Princess Rose, a 12.82ct Flawless Fancy Intense Pink diamond, was so called due to its pink hue, which reflects the delicacy and fragility of a rose.

Discovered at the Letseng mine in Lesotho, the Lesotho Promise rough diamond is the 15 th largest Diamond ever discovered. Safdico’s team of experts studied the 603ct rough stone for 5 months before embarking on the precise task of cutting and polishing the rough to reveal exquisite polished diamonds. The result was magnificent and historical—the rough yielded 26 D Colour Flawless diamonds ranging from 55 points to 75 cts.

The Sunrise, 118.08 carats, the largest square emerald cut Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond in the world. Discovered at an alluvial mine in South Africa, the 221.81 carat rough diamond displayed magnificent beauty even in its natural form. The rough was to be transformed into a square emerald cut diamond, an immensely challenging task that he trusted to his master cutter Nino Bianco. Months were spent analysing the stone before cutting even began in an effort to preserve the carat weight and reveal the best colour possible. Almost one year later, the diamond was ready with marvellous results: a size and colour that professionals did not think possible.
