The world is so big, I want to go to South Africa to dig diamonds (Figure)

Welsh hand holding Currynan

This huge diamond was discovered like this... On January 25, 1905, a man named Welsh strolled through the mines of Premimir in South Africa (Azania) and saw the ground flashing on the mine. Bling bling light, he used a knife to dig it out, it is this huge gem diamond (it is so easy to find diamonds).

This big diamond, more than 600 grams, is not particularly big, is it? It was just that no one dared to accept it at the time, because everyone could afford it... and according to the investigation, this unacceptable Cullinan is not a complete crystal, it is just a small piece of a large crystal ( Fast back to go to South Africa)...

Acquisition of Cullinan

Because no one can afford it, it can only be sold to the government at a "low price", so the local authorities of Transvaal in South Africa bought this priceless treasure for £150,000. On December 9, 1907, in order to congratulate the birthday of King Edward III, the government presented the big diamond to the British royal family (after all, he did not know how to process it).

Cullinan built

At the beginning of 1908, Cullinan was sent to Amsterdam, the most authoritative city in the Netherlands, at the time, and handed over to José Aschar for processing, processing costs of 80,000 pounds. Why is the processing fee so high? Because the original stone is too big, the processing is not in place, and it will be broken into slag if it is accidentally...

In other words, the process of breaking this big stone also made the workers sweat a cold. After sketching the ideal split shape, the first time you take a big hammer (yes, you are not mistaken, such a expensive thing is to use a cheap hammer to smash) (when, of course, there is a transitional steel wedge in the middle) The steel wedge was broken... it was broken... When it was the second time, it was broken into two halves according to the scheduled plan.

Cullinan imitation

After Currynan was opened, three skilled craftsmen worked 14 hours a day and spent eight months. A total of 9 large diamonds and 96 small diamonds were ground. These are not the main points. The focus is that after processing, Cullinan has only 34.25% of the original weight... So the weight loss of diamond after processing into diamonds is very large.

African Star I

Among the divided Cullinan, the largest piece is called "African Star I", which is "Cullinan No. 1", which is a drop-shaped shape, pondering 74 faces. Although it is only a small part of Cullinan, it is still the largest diamond ever, and is set on the scepter of the British King.

In other words, the world's largest diamond belongs to the British royal family, and no fixed person owns it. When the queen runs out, she still has to go back...

African Star II

The second largest one is named "African Star II", which has a square appearance and has 64 sides. It is the second largest diamond in the world and is now set in the middle of the British Empire.

It can be seen that Cullinan is pure and transparent with a light blue tone and is the best grade of gem diamond.

Curry South 3 + Curry South 4

Culnan 3rd 94.4 carat pear type; Cullinan 4th 63.6 carats rectangular pillow type. These two giant diamonds are connected to become a diamond brooch and are also owned by the British royal family.

The Queen likes this big brooch, and for the noble royal family, dressing up with big diamonds is a wonderful thing.

Currynan No. 5

Cullinan No. 5 (18.8 carats) was carved into a heart shape and also made a brooch. It seems that the chest is an essential accessory for the royal family.

When the queen is a little bit pink, it will match this heart-shaped brooch, which is very kind.

Currynan 6 + Cullinan 8

Cullinan No. 6 (11.5 carats) is carved into a horse eye; Cullinan No. 8 (8.8 carats) is carved into a pillow shape. The two pieces are still made into a brooch. In fact, the shape of the brooch combined with Cullinan No. 3 + Cullinan No. 4 is similar, but a lot smaller...

Although it is a little small, the Queen does not disappoint it. For the high-end accessories such as the brooch, it is still wearing the rain and dew.

Currynan VII

Currynan No. 7 (8.8 carats) is a diamond pendant from Queen Mary's emerald necklace. It is a pendant on the necklace, not the big brooch above. The big brooch is the Currynan No. 3 + Cullinan No. 4 mentioned above.

Queen Mary wears Currynan No.7

Looking at the posture of the Queen wearing jewelry in the last century, it is known that Elizabeth II's usual attendance has been low-key (Mary Queen is the grandmother of Elizabeth II).

Currynan 8

Cullinan No. 9 (4.4 carats), the smallest part of Cullinan's giant diamond, is set inlaid into a diamond ring.

So are you ready to bring your hoe to South Africa? Maybe you are the next big diamond owner~
