Have You The World Most Expensive Necklace (photos)


An egg-shaped diamond, found in a lump of rock by a poverty-stricken African girl, has gone on sale – as the  centrepiece of the world’s most expensive necklace.


Known as L’Incomparable, the flawless yellow gem has more than 407 carats.

The necklace is studded with 90 white diamonds weighing nearly 230 carats and it can be yours for £34million.
L’Incomparable was found in its rough state weighing 890 carats by the girl as she played in a pile of rubble outside her uncle’s house in the town of Mbuji Mayi in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The rubble had been legitimately collected  from the nearby MIBA Diamond Mine, after being rejected.

To their eternal cost, the workers who assessed it had decided the rock was too bulky to be worth scanning for diamonds.

But when the girl’s uncle saw the lump, he was convinced it was of value and sold it to local African diamond dealers for an unknown sum.more photos
