Discovered in the Premier Mine of South Africa in 1985, the Golden Jubilee Diamond weighs an impressive 545.67 carats, making it the largest cut and faceted diamond in the world. Initially nicknamed the 'Unnamed Brown' due to its color, it underwent cutting by renowned diamond cutter Gabi Tolkowsky, which transformed it into a fire rose cushion cut. The Golden Jubilee Diamond has a rich yellow-brown color and exceptional brilliance. It was presented to King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand in 1997 as a gift for the 50th anniversary of his coronation, which is where its name 'Golden Jubilee' originates. The diamond is part of the Royal Thai crown jewels and is celebrated for both its size and its symbolic significance.
