GIA-certified 12.27-carat Natural Fancy Pink Diamond, Type IIa with VVSI clarity

Arguably the most important diamond on the market today, the Majestic Pink Diamond is worthy of royalty. An astonishing 12.27-carat Natural Fancy pink stone, this magnificent gem boasts the purest pink color we have ever seen, with absolutely no modifiers. Cut in a brilliant cushion cut that showcases its outstanding beauty, this diamond is also certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) as being a rare Type IIa diamond, meaning that it contains no nitrogen, and boasts a brilliant optical transparency. This rating places the Majestic Pink in the company of diamonds from the famed Golconda mine, which for years produced many of the finest diamonds in the world. It is extraordinarily rare for pink diamonds to be graded Type IIa, and two of those diamonds that do have this rating, the Darya-i-Noor and Noor-al-Ain diamonds are part of the Iranian Crown Jewels. In fact, only a handful of Type IIa pink diamonds are known to exist in the world and this is almost certainly the only one on the market today.
In addition, this diamond is GIA-certified as having VVSI clarity, the closest level of clarity to Internally Flawless. This certification sets it apart from the overwhelming majority of pink diamonds, which usually have many inclusions. It must also be noted that over 99% of pink diamonds mined today weigh less than one carat. To find such a large, pure gemstone weighing over 10 carats is simply amazing. The Majestic Pink Diamond is truly the pinnacle of pink.
Pink diamonds are the most precious and desired substance in the world today, and have garnered the highest prices at auction of any gemstone. Yet it is almost unheard of to find a pink diamond of this extraordinary quality and beauty. The Majestic Pink is set in its beautiful diamond platinum and 18K rose gold classic mount, while baguette-cut white diamonds enhance the Majestic on both sides. These white gems beautifully complement the pure pink color of the center stone.
