At 71.73 carats the Lesotho One is one of the world’s most remarkable diamonds. The stone was part of a larger piece of rough (The Lesotho – over 601 carats) purchased by Harry Winston in 1968. The rough yielded 18 diamonds – the Lesotho One was the largest. The platinum ring, which features tapered baguettes, was made by Harry Winston and was last sold at Sotheby’s in 2008.
