THE TIFFANY DIAMOND SHINES ON A STAR ~ LADY GAGA
So much talk about Lady Gaga‘s moving performance last night with Bradley Cooper at the 91st Academy Awards. Her look was flawless, timeless and then… The Tiffany Diamond!
The moment Lady Gaga walked the red carpet, The Tiffany Diamond made history, once again. This marks the first time that the priceless 141 year old Tiffany Diamond has graced an awards show.
The iconic cushion-cut diamond weighs 128.54 carats with over 82 radiant facets is the largest fancy yellow diamond in the world.
The last public appearance of The Tiffany Diamond was when Audrey Hepburn wore it in a necklace for the Breakfast at Tiffany’s publicity photo shoot.
“The chance to work with such an amazing piece of design and history tonight is a creative dream come true. There are so many beautiful jewels in the world, but the radiant Tiffany Diamond, which weighs over 128 carats, is truly exceptional, which is just so fitting for Lady Gaga.” – Stylists, Sandra Amador and Tom Eerebout.
The Tiffany Diamond, considered among the most important gemstone discoveries of the 19th century, was unearthed in 1877 in the Kimberley Mines of South Africa. Founder Charles Lewis Tiffany purchased the rough diamond the following year, solidifying the brand’s reputation as a diamond authority.
“Lady Gaga is the ultimate creator, innovator and rule breaker, and I’m thrilled that she will be wearing the legendary Tiffany Diamond on the awards show red carpet for the first time since it was discovered 141 years ago,” said Reed Krakoff, Tiffany & Co. chief artistic officer.
Lady Gaga complemented her look with earrings featuring fancy vivid yellow and white diamonds.
