Jacques Cartier, who assembled the necklace, referred to it as "a really superb realization of a connoisseur's dream." Cartier eventually bought the diamond from the Maharajah's family and sent it to their London branch in 1960. 30 years later, it was sold for a reported $7,000,000. The Queen of Holland is now owned by Robert Mouawad. There are differing opinions concerning the origin of this 135.92-carats cushion-cut diamond. The Dutch firm F. Friedman & Co. cut it into its present shape in 1904. They owned it for several years, exhibiting it at the 1925 Paris Exhibition of Arts and Industry. The Dutch sovereign from whom the stone takes its name was Queen Wilhelmina, who reigned from 1890 to 1948. This suggests the possibility that the Queen of Holland was mined in South Africa, but nothing is known of the diamond's earlier history until it arrived in Amsterdam at a time when numerous South African diamonds were finding their way there. Yet there are experts who think that the Queen of Holland is a typical Golconda stone. He himself had a hand in assembling it, a process of serveral years duration in the late 1920/30s...to collect the stones for..........this `Ìmperial and world-famous jewel     The ceremonial necklace| Nawanagar Diamonds Royal India The ceremonial necklace| Nawanagar Diamonds Royal India consisted of two strands of first-class white diamonds, which were linked on both sides by a pair of square pink diamonds, together weighing 27,0 carats.
