EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, we witness a historic moment in the world of diamonds. The renowned Jonker Diamond, the largest diamond ever discovered, is about to be split into three pieces by expert diamond cutter Lezare Kaplan. After days of careful study, Kaplan has found the precise angle at which his single blow will strike. The sheer magnitude of this 726 carat stone being divided into smaller fragments is awe-inspiring. Once split, these three pieces will then be transformed into eleven smaller stones that will ultimately form an exquisite necklace valued at nearly half a million pounds. As we gaze upon the representative holding a prototype of the remarkable necklace-to-be, it becomes evident that this creation will embody both elegance and opulence. The anticipation surrounding its completion is palpable. This photograph transports us back to May 7th, 1936 - a time between wars when fashion and style were evolving rapidly. Its monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia as we are reminded of Europe's rich history during this era. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk for future generations to admire and appreciate, this image captures not only the technical mastery required to split such an extraordinary gem but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in transforming nature's wonders into wearable art.
