Attention ultra-rich Chanukah shoppers: The world’s most expensive Tiffany & Co. diamond has dropped. It’s called “The Empire Diamond,” named after New York City, and retails for somewhere between $20 and $30 million.

The jeweler unveiled the necklace at a Dubai event, per WWD. The strands come with 180 carats of diamonds set in platinum, with an “80-carat oval shape” at the center. It took Tiffany & Co. two years to create the piece, which took inspiration from the label’s 1939 “World’s Fair Necklace.” That piece had 429 diamonds and a 200-carat aquamarine stone at the center. (It cost $28,000 back in 1939, or around $557,000 today.) Tiffany & Co. told WWD that it hopes the eventual buyer will loan The Empire Diamond back to the brand for special events. Read more at WWD.

  1. I would like to purchase the “Empire Diamond” but my credit card is maxed out right now. How much longer will this diamond be on the market? Anybody know? I would like to purchase it as soon as I pay up my credit card bill, and as soon as my boss gives me my latest pay check.

  2. Could you Imagine? A Rock. A piece of glass from a rock. People are willing to pay so much money for a piece of rock found on the ground. Instead, they should invest in our community’s “diamonds”, our kinderlech. Every person who has so much money to throw away should pay for the tuitions at a Yeshiva for a child whose family can’t afford to. That is an investment!!
