Discovered in the Republic of the Congo, De Beers mined the Millennium Star diamond in the early nineties. It took over three years for their diamond cutters to shape the stone with lasers.

What emerged was the world’s only flawless, 203-carat, pear-shaped diamond.

Harry Oppenheimer, described the De Beers Millennium Star as “the most beautiful diamond I have ever seen.” Appropriately called the De Beers Millennium Star, it was unveiled as the centerpiece of the De Beers Millennium diamond collection.

The entire collection includes eleven equally rare blue diamonds totaling 118 carats, as well as the 27-carat Heart of Eternity.
