Pumpkin Diamond

GIA Color Grade: Fancy Vivid orange
Weight: 5.54 carats
Owner: Harry Winston, Inc

This cushion-shaped diamond was in a ring worn by Halle Berry when she accepted her Best Actress Oscar® for the movie Monster's Ball in 2002. The Pumpkin Diamond was so named when it was acquired at auction by the House of Winston on the day before Halloween. Typically, diamonds in the orange color range are darker and less intense. However, the lightness and intensity of the breathtaking Pumpkin Diamond make the stone utterly unique. In fact, the Pumpkin, found in South Africa, is one of the largest Fancy Vivid orange natural color diamonds in the world.
