'The Corner Stone'. A 54 Carat Asscher Cut Diamond. © Samer Halimeh.

This flawless stone carries a near perfect depth symmetry and is sought after by many collectors and industry specialists alike. Such a large asscher cut is not only rare but also historic.

The Corner Stone once belonged to a famed Hollywood actress in the 70's. After her marriage was in jeopardy she decided to sell the stone to a friend who later in confidence handed the stone over to a diamond dealer. It was long thought to be gone or sold out of the country, but Mr. Halimeh insisted that it needs to be found and purchased for his collection.

This stone is fully certified and accredited both by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the House of Samer Halimeh
