Incredibly rare 26-carat Fortuna diamond unveiled at an exclusive event

The striking Type IIa jewel is one of the rarest in the world and has been transformed by Olivar Musson, Musson Jewellers' creative director, into a stunning pendant necklace with 5-carats of Argyle pink diamonds - emphasising the remarkable history of the Fortuna diamond "You usually need tweezers to pick up diamonds, but a diamond of this size you can pick up in your fingers." Wanting to showcase the diamond in its entirety, Olivar delicately framed Fortuna with 5-carats worth of Argyle Pink Diamonds - mirroring the striking rarity of the 26-carat rock Exquisite sparkling gems catch the eye from every angle while the back of the diamond remains open, allowing the details of the natural wonder to shine through.

"It's a unique story, and I believe the two diamonds work together," Olivar says "Argyle Pink Diamonds are one in a million, as was the discovery of the Fortuna Diamond." The precious stone makes up just 2% of the world's Type IIa diamonds - a gem so rare many of them end up in crown jewels, as with the Cullinan Diamond. . Source
