Ready for some rough stuff? We recently found a rare cache of extremely large uncut diamonds at an extraordinary price.

Sometimes it's impossible to improve on perfection. When the world's most desired stone is pulled from the ground, why not just brush off the earth and leave it alone? White cut diamonds may be nice for a polite kiss on the cheek, but extra large uncut diamonds can really ignite some raw passion. And isn't that what a great piece of jewelry is all about? These few rare 2 carat plus natural stones will certainly turn up your thermostat.

A real diamond in the rough

For centuries, large raw diamonds were treasured without a hint of facet or polish. We believe the early artisans were on to something. After a search through countries on four continents, we have found a cache of rare, very large, 2 carat plus uncut diamonds at a spectacular price from our Belgium dealer. Major gemstone experts across the globe have commented that rough diamonds will be the fastest growing trend on "the red carpet" this year and our long love affair with flawless cut white gemstones may have some competition. All one has to do is flip through the world's most exclusive catalog to find that "rough is all the rage" Our luxury retail friends in Texas recently featured a raw solitaire for $6,000, but they buy in such small quantities that they cannot compete with us on price. You see, Stauer is one of the largest gemstone buyers in the world and last year bought over 3 million carats of emeralds. No regular jewelry store can come anywhere close to that volume.

Equal parts "rough" and "refined"

Our Raw Diamond Necklace is a balanced blend of geology and geometry. Each one-of-a-kind raw diamond is fitted by hand into its "cage," a crisscross embrace of gold vermeil over the finest .925 sterling silver, bead-set with 18 round diamonds. The caged diamond hangs from a triangular bail with an additional 8 diamonds (26 total). The pendant is suspended from an 18" gold vermeil rope chain with spring ring clasp. Each raw diamond is naturally unique. This is an extremely limited edition since it took us 3 years to find this small cache of stones. If you feel like experiencing the unique perfection of natural uncut beauty, you have found the way.

Keep in mind that each raw diamond is completely different. The shape, shine, and color will vary, but your Caged Raw Diamond Necklace will forever remain a reminder of the unspoiled, organic beauty of nature.
