Unearthing a Legend
The Regent Diamond: a breathtaking 141-carat marvel unearthed in India, in the region of Golconda, whose discovery reads like something out of legend. It’s hard not to feel a thrill at the thought—after all, who wouldn’t want to know the story behind a diamond of such extraordinary weight? Yet, in reality, the importance of provenance applies to every diamond, however small. The true sparkle lies in knowing its ethical origin.
The 141-carat Regent Diamond at the Louvre in Paris
From Mine to Museum
This remarkable gem didn’t remain in obscurity. Instead, it embarked on a journey that carried it from its raw inception right to the hallowed halls of the Louvre. Its path—through refinement, royal possession, and illustrious exhibition—echoes the power of storytelling through gemstones. Diamonds are more than adornment; they are living fragments of history.
Origins Matter
Here’s where it gets personal. The world of natural diamonds is still tangled in stories of human and environmental exploitation. It’s vital—no, essential—that any diamond you cherish comes from legal, responsible sources that uplift—not endanger—communities. That’s why provenance matters, big time.
