Richard Burton presented Elizabeth Taylor with one of the world's largest and most beautiful diamonds. If any gem could be noticed next to the beauty of Elizabeth Taylor it was this 69-carat, pear-shaped diamond.
The stone was unearthed at the Premier mine of South Africa in 1966. And it was Harry Winston who cut and polished the rough stone from its original size of 244-carats. It has been moving in and out of auction houses, and the last recorded sale was to an anonymous Saudi buyer for $3,000,000.
