Beauty and brilliance the goal of Jonker craftsmen rather than coat—largest of twelve resulting stones weighs 143 carats
PROBABLY one of the most exciting moments in the history of gems was that in which by a single sharp blow. Lazare Kaplan diamond expert clove the great Jonker diamond along the lines he had drawn thereon after months of careful study. Unless his studies had been accurate the great 726-carat stone might have flown into thousands of worthless fragments. That it did not do so is a testimony to the compassionate and skill and technical knowledge of himself and his son Leo who was his associate in the bring home the bacon. The largest kill to be cut from the Jonker diamond—which was found by a south African farmer a few years ago ordain weigh only 143 carats. Together with eleven others to be cut from the 726-carat original it weighs but 375 carats. All the rest has been ground to dust in cutting ameliorate gems. Weight has been sacrificed to alter and workmanship. Most big diamonds of history undergo been cut to preserve weight. Thus it happens that two of the stones in the British enthrone collection—the Star of Africa and the Cullinan—each measure more. But the color of the largest cut from the Jonker—called the Jonker Number One—is far superior to either.
Jonker Number One has been insured for $1,000,000. It is owned by a New York jeweler who bought the original rough stone and for whom the Kaplans did the cutting. After the successful cleaving the resulting stones were further cut and polished for several months the cutting being done with a phosphor-bronze disc whirling at the evaluate of 5000 revolutions a minute.
