The Ultimate 100 carat Internally Flawless Emerald Cut Diamond expected to fetch $25M at auction. 

 

Sotheby’s unveiled a diamond unlike any other offered before it. The exceedingly rare 100.20 carat, internally flawless, D colour, perfect emerald cut diamond will go on sale today at Sotheby’s New York, and is expected to fetch in the region of $19 – 25 million.

"This 100.20-carat diamond is the definition of perfection. The colour is whiter than white. It is free of any internal imperfections," Sotheby's New York jewellery department head Gary Schuler said in a statement, likening its transparency "to a pool of icy water."

The diamond was mined in South Africa and weighed over 200 carats in its rough form. It took over a year of planning and decision making before arriving at this miracle of nature, displaying the pure masterpiece of human skill and artistry.

Here are some interesting Valentine’s Day facts: 

 

  • The most popular theory about Valentine’s Day origin is that Emperor Claudius II didn’t want Roman men to marry during wartime. Bishop Valentin went against his wishes and performed secret weddings. For this, Valentine was jailed and executed. While in jail he wrote a note to the jailors daughter signing it “ from your Valentine” 

 

  •  In Finland Valentine’s Day is called Ystävänpäivä, which means “Friends Day”

 

  • In Victorian times it was considered bad luck to sign a Valentine’s Day card.

 

  • The “x” became the signature of choice in the Middle Ages, a time when few people could write, and documents were sealed with an x embossed in wax or lead. At the same time, letters and books, as well as oaths of political and economic fealty between kings and their vassals, were “sealed with a kiss” — an early antecedent of the acronym SWAK, which became popular during World War I for soldiers to imprint on their letters home.

 

  •   In 1537, King Henry VII officially declared February 14th the holiday of St Valentine’s Day

 

  • The red rose was the favourite flower of Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love.

 

  • In the Middle Ages, young man and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentin, They would wear this name pinned into their sleeves for one week for everyone to see. This is where the expression “to wear your heart on your sleeve” originated from.
