I read somewhere that the gentleman who headed up the team which cut the diamond lost a stone in weight while prepping to make the first cut.Edward VII entrusted the uncut diamond to a Dutch firm, Joseph Asscher and Co., and a whole team worked on the diamonds after the initial cuts.

All the diamonds are spectacular, and I would never say no if offered one, but I love the brooch made with"Granny's Chips" the most.
