The Flower Diamond is one-of-a-kind due to the naturally occurring inclusions that can be found in the heart of the stone. In the center of the 3.02 carat diamond — originally 6.23 carats and re-cut to its current size — is a perfectly symmetrical, hydrogen cloud inclusion (a visible imperfection within a stone) in the shape of a stunning, six-petaled flower.
The exclusive stone was found by a miner in the jungles of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in the year 2000. Without the means to really study or re-cut the diamond, it remained rough at 6.23 carats until a gemologist, that was living in Brazil at the time, bought it. Knowing this was a special find, John Humbert of Sterling Promise Inc., purchased the diamond in hopes of showcasing the flower-shaped inclusion as a once-in-a-lifetime find.

THE BEST OF BOTH
WORLDS.
The pear-shaped, modified brilliant-cut diamond was graded by GIA as a Fancy brown-greenish yellow. Humbert says that the diamond “looks greenish”. The main stone was mounted in a gorgeous, platinum necklace with a total of 32 carats of diamonds.
