Description

Set with a round brilliant-cut fancy vivid yellow diamond weighing 67.20 carats, pavé-set with pear-shaped, oval and brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold, size 6.


Accompanied by GIA report no. 6223716005, dated 3 April 2023, stating that the diamond is Fancy Vivid Yellow, Natural Colour, VVS2 Clarity.Further accompanied by a separate monograph expressing the rarity and the characteristics of the stone, as well as a letter stating that ‘The 67.20 carat is cut as a standard round brilliant and was manufactured from a 141.58 carat rough crystal. It is very unusual that large round diamonds result in a Fancy Vivid grade. The clarity grade is VVS2 and the polish and symmetry are both "Excellent, adding to the rarity.” Not only did this diamond achieve this grade, but it is the largest Fancy Vivid Yellow Round Brilliant cut diamond that the laboratory has graded.’

The Aten, celebrated as the largest brilliant-cut fancy vivid yellow diamond ever graded by GIA, takes its name from the ancient Egyptian sun-disk deity, Aten, who was central to sun worship during the Amarna period. This remarkable gemstone's vibrant yellow hue beautifully echoes the imagery found in the Great Hymn to the Aten, a profound text that extols the sun's vital role in the cosmos. The diamond’s luminous colour not only mirrors the sun's radiance but also symbolises renewal and new beginnings, akin to the daily rebirth of the sun at dawn. In this context, The Aten serves as a metaphorical embodiment of the sun, reinforcing the notion of light as a transformative force.


Aten被譽為現今GIA評級過最大的明亮式切割豔彩黃色鑽石。其名字來自古埃及太陽盤神Aten,是阿瑪納時期太陽崇拜的中心人物。這顆碩大的黃鑽擁有着充滿活力的黃色調,與大讚歌中的意識完美呼應,此鑽石的光彩不僅反映了太陽的光芒,也像徵著更新和嶄新的開始,就像每天黎明時太陽的重生。在這種背景下,黃鑽就好比化身為太陽,強化了光作為改變力量的概念。
