Yellow Diamonds

History includes several exceptional yellow diamonds that have left their mark on royal and private collections.

The Tiffany Yellow remains the undisputed benchmark in this category. This 128.54-carat yellow diamond, discovered in 1877 in the Kimberley mines in South Africa, displays a highly sought-after intense Fancy Yellow color. Acquired by Charles Lewis Tiffany, it became the emblem of the Tiffany & Co. maison. Only two women have worn it publicly: Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse at the 1957 Tiffany Ball and Audrey Hepburn for the promotional photographs of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in 1961.
More recently, Beyoncé wore it at the 2022 Oscars.

Other specimens have also gained international recognition, notably the Incomparable (407.48 carats), one of the largest cut yellow diamonds in the world, and the Florentine (137.27 carats), whose history traces back to the Medici and the Habsburgs.
