A show of wealth


The 10th Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition is a stunning showcase of the rarest and most expensive objects to adorn one’s wrists, neck, ears and fingers.

The unveiling of the world’s largest internally flawless diamond by internationally known jeweller and watchmaker Mouawad headlined the show.

Called the ‘Incomparable Diamond’, the jewel was found by a little girl in a pile of kimberlite in Congo 33 years ago. It made a long journey through various hands and museums before it was shown here as the pendant in Mouawad’s latest masterpiece, the ‘Mouawad L’Incomparable diamond necklace’ featuring 91 diamonds totalling 635.40 carats in weight.

Graff, a London-based jeweller known for its rare diamonds and unique designs, is showcasing some of the most expensive items at this year’s show. One of them is a QR100m diamond necklace of over a hundred carats in total.

The necklace has diamonds totalling 70 carats on the chain and a 33-carat diamond as the pendant. There are also matching pear-shaped earrings with 40 carats of flawless diamonds of the best colour and clarity.
