The Golden Jubilee Diamond

World largest faceted diamond

After its discovery in 1985, The Golden Jubilee was cut and became the largest faceted diamond in the world. Stunningly beautiful it has the weight of 545.67 carats and an estimated value of $4-$12 million.

His color was determined to be “fancy yellow-brown” and diamond cutter Marcel Tolkowsky, the “father of the modern round brilliant diamond cut”, said that The Golden Jubilee has a “fire rose cushion cut.”
