Did you know that addequate cutting proportions are critical in the perception of the colour of a diamond? The cutter does not change the colour of the material, but it sure makes the Final Cut gem look as vibrant and saturated as possible to provoque the best visual impact on the viewer. Let’s take the story of The Golden Empress diamond to address this: a large 132.55 ct Fancy Intense yellow diamond, started its journey when Graff the London-based diamond House founded by Laurence Graff in 1960, acquires a 299.35 carat yellow diamond found in 2010 at the Letšeng mine in Lesotho. The crystal was finally cut into nine stones by master cutters at Safdico after months of study, a period that is common in the planning and cutting of large and/or very special diamonds like this one, particularly if colour is involved. Note that proper planning and cut proportions do play a critical role in keeping the colour within the stone, bringing the best possible hue and brilliance to face up colour (remember that a fancy grade is determined by the colour in the face up position) and in a gem of this importance it justifies the time spent studying it to creatively and technically achieve the best results possible. The next stage, the actual cutting and polishing processes, also took many months in the making. The largest stone, named “The Golden Empress”, reached 132.55 ct with a Fancy Intense yellow colour grade (VVS1 clarity). Six more fancy colours were cut into pear shapes (largest 21.34 ct), and two smaller ones as round brilliants.

WHAT DOES FLAWLESS MEAN?
I’ve been a diamond 💎 dealer for 20 years...This is the 1st FLAWLESS diamond ive ever had available for sale. Internally Flawless? Sure—it happens.
But truly Flawless?
That’s unicorn territory.
No inclusions.
No blemishes.
No excuses.
This isn’t just rare…
It’s almost impossible.

Flawless means nature got it right—
inside and out.
And that almost never happens.

Most people think “flawless” is just a word.
In diamonds… it’s a miracle.

Though more common than blue diamonds, the finest yellow diamonds-especially large, naturally saturated ones
—remain exceptionally rare. Here are a few countries where notable specimens have been found:

- Democratic Republic of Congo: The
303.10-carat Fancy Deep Brownish-Yellow Golden Canary was cut from the famous Incomparable Diamond. The original 890-carat rough was found in the 1980s by a little girl playing in her uncle’s backyard!
- South Africa: Long celebrated for its diamond production, including the
253.7-carat uncut Oppenheimer Diamond-now on view at the -and the striking
110.03-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow Sun Drop Diamond, renamed to Lady Dalal.
- Russia: The Fancy Vivid Yellow Firebird (20.69 carats) and New Sun (100+ carats) diamonds showcase the rich yellow colors that can be found in Siberia.
