It isn’t often you get to see a legendary yellow diamond like the Sun Drop in person. It weighs a whopping 110.3 carats and was formed over two billion years ago. When it was sold at a Sotheby’s auction in 2011 it went for just over 10.9 million –– a world record for a yellow diamond. The Sun Drop was certified by gemologists as “fancy vivid yellow”, the rarest and most desirable color for a yellow diamond.
It inspired me to create a diamond alternative on par with the vivid yellow of this most resplendent of canary yellow diamonds. The Sunfire Earrings deliver. The glimmer factor is so great that I may need to create a “glimmer scale” for the 5 ½-carat center stones alone. Matching mined diamonds in the four jeweler specifications of color, cut, clarity and carat weight, we’ve leveraged the powers of science to create a marvel not only on par with mined diamonds but with more fire and less inclusions. Now you can get as close to seeing the renowned Sun Drop Diamond as possible, without needing an auction paddle to attain it.
