Steinmetz Pink Diamond

GIA Color Grade: Fancy Vivid pink
GIA Clarity Grade: Internally Flawless
Weight: 59.60 carats
Owner: The Steinmetz Group

First unveiled in Monaco in May 2003, and briefly worn around the neck of supermodel Helena Christensen, the Steinmetz Pink was discovered in southern Africa and is the largest Fancy Vivid pink diamond known in the world. Pink diamonds are extremely rare and usually found in much smaller sizes. The Steinmetz Pink weighs 59.60 carats. It has been assessed as Internally Flawless, an extremely rare and coveted clarity grade. Given its extraordinary importance, the Steinmetz Group took approximately 20 months to cut the diamond.

Remarking on the size and weight of this extraordinary diamond, TV's "Dharma and Greg" star Jenna Elfman said, "I can feel the beauty on my chest. You can feel the physical vibrations."
