World's first all-diamond ring is worth $77 million




Last April we mentioned about the first ring made entirely of diamond. What was just a concept then and design on paper is reality now. Geneva based jeweler Shawish unveiled the world's first all-diamond ring at Basel 2012. This blindingly dazzling ring is made from 150 brut carat rough diamond from Brazil. To cut the diamond and shape it into this unique ring Mr. Shawish developed a copyrighted process, and he and his technician successfully developed laser equipment which allowed them to cut directly into the diamond. It took them almost a year to develop the process.

The color of the diamond ring is certified an E and the clarity is VS1. Although the final weight of the ring is unknown, it is valued at approximately $77 million.
