Premier Rose Diamond
Overview
One of the most significant diamonds found in the Premier mine (now the Cullinan mine) in South Africa was the 353.9 carat (ct) Premier Rose rough.
The diamond crystal was found in 1978 and named after Rose Mouw who helped plan and mark it for cutting.
She and her husband Joe Mouw, owners of Mouw Diamond Cutting Works, purchased the rough diamond and partnered with William Goldberg to cut it into three gems – the Premier Rose (D-Flawless pear diamond weighing 137.02 ct), Little Rose (31.48 ct D-Flawless pear diamond), and Baby Rose (2.11 ct D-Flawless round brilliant diamond). The Premier Rose took six months to plan and cut.
