The Lady Gaga stuns in a 91-carat diamond necklace at the Grammy Awards 2019

Loyal to her aesthetics, Lady Gaga once again dazzled the audience of Grammy Awards last Sunday with her timeless elegance and wardrobe – more specifically her Tiffany & Co. necklace.

Paired with a flamboyant silver Celine by Hedi Slimane creation, Lady Gaga wore a Tiffany & Co. necklace that has over 90-carat of radiant Tiffany & Co. diamonds, causing quite a buzz on the news and social media.

The reason? This exquisite piece of high jewellery required no less than 365 days to be created.

Lady Gaga wears a dress from Celine by Hedi Slimane and a Tiffany & Co. 91-carat Tiffany Blue Book diamond necklace.

According to Tiffany & Co., the necklace, which is part of the new Tiffany Blue Book collection, features 91 carats of diamonds and took a year to be created because it involves “an ice motif that required the most skilled craftsmen to accomplish” and “each cut creates an illusion of fluidity”.

Truly a jaw-dropping and head-turning look that only someone like Lady Gaga can pull off – fitting for the winner of both “Best Song Written for Visual Media” for Shallow (A Star Is Born) and Best Pop Solo Performance for Where Do You Think You’re Goin’ (Joanne).

Alrosa Will be Auctioning Off A 51-carat “Dynasty” Diamond On Its Website

Russian mining giant Alrosa is set to auction off a huge 51-carat “Dynasty” diamond and four other high-purity diamonds with a starting price of $10 million, the company says.

The five-diamond collection seen by members of the press on Thursday was cut from a 179-carat rough diamond discovered in 2015 in one of the state-owned company’s mines in the Sakha region of eastern Siberia.

Alrosa, Russia’s top diamond producer, calls the 51.38-carat gem that is the centrepiece of the collection “the largest and purest diamond cut in the history of Russian jewellery making”.

“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,” Alrosa’s president Sergei Ivanov said in a statement.

The largest diamond in the collection was named in honour of Russia’s last imperial family the Romanovs, whose rule ended a century ago in 1917 with the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. The other gems are named after Russian aristocrat families.

The second largest diamond in the collection measures 16.67 carats, while the smallest is 1.39 carats.

After going on a tour taking in several countries, the collection is expected to be auctioned off in November via Alrosa’s website.

“Based on the auction results of Sotheby’s and Christie’s, the starting price of the collection can be no less than $10 million,” Ivanov was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
