The Orlof Diamond

• Weight:189.62
• Color:Slightly bluish green
• Clarity:"Exceptionally Pure"
• Cut: Mugal-Cut rose
• Source:India 

The Russian Orloff jewel was acquired by Prince Orloff from a trader named Khojeh Raphael. Precious stone is "a young ladies closest companion" as well as just as respected by men of all time. Orloff is the planets third biggest cut precious stone. It got its name since it was skilled to Catherine II of Russia, by her ex-partner Grigori Orloff in 1775. The precious stone is regularly known as Scepter jewel.

There is a platitude that the 189.62 carats jewel was once studded as one of the eyes of the symbol Sheringham. This symbol was arranged in the sanctuary of Brahma in southern India. The anonymous precious stone had changed hands a few times and in no time is settled in Russia. Sovereign Orloff on his path over to Russia bought this astonishing Indian stone to blessing it to his significant other Catherine II as a token of his love. Catherine II, in the wake of naming it, joined it in a staff known as the "Magnificent Scepter" outlined by C.n. Troitinski in 1784. The Orloff is situated at the highest point of the staff.

The Great Star of Africa Dimaond

The Great Star of Africa

• Weight: 530.2 carats
• Color: Unrecorded
• Clarity: Unrecorded
• Cut: Pear
• Source: South Africa 

One of the most famous diamonds is the Great Star of Africa, weighing 530.2 carats, which was cut from the worlds largest rough diamond, the Cullinan I. The historic Cullinan diamond, found in South Africa in 1905, weighed an astounding 3,106.75 carats. It was cut into the Great Star of Africa (Cullinan I), the Lesser Star of Africa (known as the Cullinan II, weighing 317.40 carats), and 103 other diamonds of nearly flawless clarity. The principal diamonds are mounted in the British crown jewels.

Pear shaped, with 74 facets, it is set in the Royal Scepter (kept with the other Crown Jewels in the Tower of London).

It was cut from the 3,106-carat Cullian, the largest diamond crystal ever found. The Cullian was discovered in Transvaal, South Africa in l095 on an inspection tour of the Premier Mine.

The Cullian was cut by Joseph Asscher and Company of Amsterdam, who examined the enormous crystal for around six months before determining how to divide it. It eventually yielded nine major, and 96 smaller brilliant cut stones. When the Cullian was first discovered, certain signs suggested that it may have been part of a much larger crystal. But no discovery of the "missing half" has ever been authenticated.
