755.50 carats n the rough.
The polishing was supervised by famed diamond cutter Gabi Tolkwosky. May 24, 1988
polishing began in a specially built underground room. The special treatment was required so
that no vibrations would cause the polishing to mar the diamond. The resulting stone was a 545.67 carat diamond with 148 facets. Mr. Tolkwosky described the cut as a “Fire Rose Cushion” cut. The stone color was graded as a Fancy Yellow-Brown, and is the largest diamond certified to date.
The Diamond was given as a gift to the king of Thailand in celebration of his 50th year on the thrown. Hence the diamond’s title: The Golden Jubilee.
