The Biggest Cut Diamond in the World

Diamonds are fascinating. In fact, everything about diamonds is truly fascinating. Tales about diamonds and about emperors who wore diamonds are prevalent all over the world. There are stories about emperors invading other kingdoms and taking away diamonds as booty. Some of the diamonds have become quite famous over a period of time and have found a place in the history. Besides the tales and stories, these diamonds have also become famous because of their shape, size, color or beauty. Since these diamonds are special they are either kept in museums (or are found at homes of millionaires).

Some popular names that spring to mind include Hope diamond, Cullinan I diamond and Regent diamond. Cullinan I is one of those diamonds that catch the fancy of a lot of people because of its large size. In fact, Cullinan I is the largest cut diamond in the world. Quite a lot of people who visit The Tower of London (an attraction in London, UK) do so just to get a glimpse of Cullinan I. You also have another large cut diamond that accompanies Cullinan I in The Tower of London. This is called Cullinan II. So, Cullinans are the largest cut diamonds in the world. Unlike Cullinans, the Hope diamond is not famous for its size. Hope diamond is famous mainly because of its peculiar property of emitting reddish color when exposed to light.

A lot of people fantasize about such diamonds. Though you cannot get these diamonds as part of your jewelry, reading about these diamonds and other such diamonds can really be a fascinating experience in itself. But dont worry, there are other diamonds that are available in the market and that you can easily buy and make part of your jewelry.
