Orange County – TUSTIN — The Jewelry Exchange announced that their executive diamond buyer has successfully acquired the famous Sirocco Diamond. This spectacular 16-carat stone was named for the hot winds that blow over North Africa. Legend has it that the original owner of the diamond was en route to meet a potential buyer, when the vehicle he was riding in overturned due to a sudden gust of wind. The beautiful diamond was said to be lost in the sands of the Sahara for many years, until it was mysteriously discovered in the private collection of a reclusive Asian gem collector. The diamond then went through many hands until it came into possession of the Jewelry Exchange during the buyer’s recent trip to the Middle East
The details of the stone are as exceptional as it heritage. Slightly over 16 carats, the round-cut stone is brilliant in reflectance and exceptionally clear. The Sirocco Diamond is now in the Jewelry Exchange’s private collection and is not on view to the public or for sale.
