An Epic Discovery

IN BOTSWANA

When a 373 carat rough diamond was uncovered at the state-of-the-art Karowe mine in Botswana, its impressive size immediately captured the attention of Laurence Graff OBE. At the time of its discovery, it was the 14th largest gem-quality diamond found this century. This astonishing find was made even more incredible when, shortly afterwards, the historic 1,109 carat Lesedi La Rona diamond was unearthed at the same mine.

A Twist in the Tale

AN EXCITING THEORY EMERGES

Placed side by side with the Lesedi La Rona, the contours of the 373 carat diamond matched those of the 1,109 carat stone exactly, supporting the theory that they once formed part of an even larger diamond. To ensure their fates would forever be entwined, Laurence Graff acquired both the 373 carat diamond and the record-breaking Lesedi La Rona.

Analysing the Rough

HIDDEN DEPTHS

Certain that concealed within the 373 carat stone’s frosty exterior was a diamond destined to enter the history books, Mr Graff gathered his team of expert gemmologists to scrutinise every inch of the rough stone, mapping its precise structure and identifying the tiniest of flaws. Their analysis revealed that hidden inside was a heart shape diamond, the magnitude of which had never been seen before.

Polishing the Heart Shape

A GRAFF ICON

A master cutter with more than 40 years’ experience was tasked with transforming the 373 carat rough stone. One of the most difficult diamond cuts to master, he finessed the heart shape until it was completely symmetrical, with an impeccably sharp point, flawless facets and an aesthetically beautiful cleft, which took six weeks alone to refine.
