"The Gruosi" – the gorgeous black diamond of Grisogono and Fawaz Gruosi


"The Gruosi" and "The Spirit of Grisogono" are the two largest black diamonds in the world. They are named by jewelers Grisogono and Fawaz Gruosi. Fawaz Gruosi is famous for popularization of the black diamonds in 1996. The opportunity he had to name a diamond is a rare one – it is reserved only for original buyers of a rough diamond.

"The Gruosi" is now part of this stunning necklace that features 378 white diamonds, 14.10-carats of tsavorite garnets and the center, faceted, heart-shaped 58.77-carat black diamond, set in white gold. Discovered in India in 1998, the original rough black diamond weighed shocking 300.12-carats. Mr. Gruosi and Mr. de Grisogono had planned to cut the rough diamond into an oval shape; however, the cutting process proved to be very difficult due to its fragility, a trait common to black diamonds. The pair decided to proceed in a direction with their black diamond choosing a heart shape. The now heart-shaped black diamond of "The Gruosi" is less 184.78 carats. Mr. de Grisogono had the honors of cutting of "The Gruosi" black diamond which took a patience-building three years to complete.
