The Florentine Diamond
The Florentine Diamond was reported a stunning yellow diamond. It was reported to have weighed 137.27 carats.
It has always been a mystery to me, because no one knows for sure who it belonged to. Most say it belonged to the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold.
Rumor has it that during World War I, Charles the first of Austria smuggled it with him in exile, but it was then apparently stolen.
Many say it was taken to the United States, and then cut and resold.
But did it?
Could it have been?
Are yellow diamonds that popular in smaller cuts?
Still a mystery!
