The Mouawad Dragon, the extraordinary polished 54.21 carat round brilliant cut, fancy vivid yellow diamond was first announced in January 2018. The largest ever graded to date by the Gemological Institute of America, the diamond was birthed the Mouawad Dragon as its color is reminiscent of the Dragon’s magical powers and fiery eye.

The Mouawad Dragon stone was discovered in the ancient alluvial deposits in South Africa. Historically, that area is known to have produced some of the largest yellow diamonds ever discovered. Diamonds with color intensity such as that of the Mouawad Dragon have long been prized by collectors and gem enthusiasts.

The planning and cutting of the Mouawad Dragon took over six months to complete. The Fancy Vivid color grading of the Mouawad Dragon makes it the most desirable and rare color on the yellow diamond spectrum. Truly a sight to behold, the Mouawad Dragon is considered to be one of the most revered colored diamonds of all time.
