ALROSA, the world's largest diamond miner, is introducing its unique collection of diamonds called The Dynasty to potential clients in Hong Kong. The centerpiece of the collection is a 51.38-carat traditional round brilliant-cut diamond – the purest and the most expensive of all the large diamonds manufactured throughout the Russian jewellery history.

The collection will be sold at a special online auction scheduled for November. Diamond World got an opportunity to see these amazing diamonds.

The Dynasty collection consists of five diamonds and was created from a 179-carat rough diamond. The Romanovs, a unique rough diamond, was recovered from Nyurbinskaya kimberlite pipe in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in 2015.

There was a good reason to choose the name for the collection, which is connected with ALROSA’s intention to revive the traditions and memory of renowned Russian jewellers famous for their craftsmanship and filigree since the Russia’s first cutting and polishing factory founded by Peter I early in the 18th century.

Talking about the collection Sergey Ivanov, President of ALROSA, said, “This collection is really unique. All five diamonds were manufactured from one rough diamond, which is an exceptional case. It took a year and a half to create the collection. But the result was worth it: we have obtained amazing quality diamonds. And the main diamond, The Dynasty, has become the purest of the largest diamonds throughout the history of jewelry in our country. The whole collection was certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) to confirm its characteristics. Less than 1% of diamonds in the world have such characteristics as color D and clarity VVS1. And such characteristics of polished diamonds obtained from one rough diamond are exceptional. To be sure, it is a masterpiece of Russian polishers.”
