Three time Guinness World Record holding brand Mouawad is at it again to claim another record with the Mouawad L’Incomparable Diamond Necklace. Attached to this extravagant piece of jewelry is the world's largest and most valuable diamond.
When Mouwad first entered the Guinness Book of World Records it was for the achievement of the most expensive single pear-shaped diamond in 1990. 23 years later, this record holding brand has still got it. The Mouawad L’Incomparable weighs in at a robust 407.48 carats and is valued to be $55 million.
Ironically, when this gorgeous gem was founded in 1980, it was believed to be worthless. Now, some may need to smash a thousand piggy banks to come up with the loot for this pretty neck piece.
