Golden Jubilee

Le Golden Jubilee est le plus gros diamant facété du monde, il est de couleur jaune/marron. Il pèse 545.67 carats. Acheté en 1995 par un syndicat thaïlandais, il a été offert au roi Rama IX de Thaïlande en guise d'hommage au cinquantième anniversaire de son couronnement.

Le diamant provient du gisement de Premier Mine en Afrique du Sud. Il a été découvert en 1985, pesant originellement 755 carats. Il détrône ainsi Cullinan I qui pèse lui 530,2 ct.
