Pluczenik to Display Pair of 26 Ct Round Forevermarked Stones at BaselWorld

DTC Sightholder Pluczenik has announced that it will premier the largest matching pair of Forevermark stones at BaselWorld next month. The pair is made up of two 26 carat round diamonds, cut from the same approximately 141 carat stone by Pluczenik, with an estimated value of over $5 million.

Up to this point, the diamonds have been shown at private events in New York, Tokyo and Moscow, but BaselWorld will be the first time they will be on public display.

The company commented that, in displaying these stones, the public is provided with an opportunity to learn about the aims of the Forevermark program – part of an effort to ensure that the diamonds are mined and produced according to the highest ethical principles.

The Forevermark is a DTC program that marks diamonds with a special symbol and identification number unique to each diamond, providing an assurance to consumers that their diamond meets the ethical standards of the DTC.

Forevermarked diamonds are genuine, natural, and untreated. Every diamond is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity reassuring consumers that their stone was mined, cut, and polished in an ethically, socially, and environmentally responsible way.

Recently De Beers announced that it is expanding the scope of the program and planning to add non-Sightholders.

The mark is available on diamonds of 0.30 carats and above, sourced from the DTC and polished by one of several authorized Sightholders. The 1/20 of a micron deep (only 1/500th the thickness of a human hair) mark is inscribed with by the DTC and can be seen with the Forevermark viewer.
