6. L’Incomparable Diamond Necklace—$55 million
Weighing in at 637 carats and valued at $55 million, the L’Incomparable diamond necklace is the second-most expensive necklace in the world. The “Incomparable” diamond was discovered more than 30 years ago when it was an 890-carat by-product of diamond mining. According to legends and impoverished girl from Congo found the stone. Before the stone was cut, it was a popular attraction in many museums, including the Smithsonian. The cut was made by a luxury jeweler, Mouwad. Aesthetically, the Incomparable looks like a vine as the main stone hangs from the stem of diamonds. It took the Mouawad Jewelry Company four years to polish and craft the ovoid, yellow-shaded diamond into a necklace. Set in 18-carat rose gold, the necklace is crafted from 91 diamonds in various shapes, one of which is a 229.52-carat white diamond.
