A US$55m necklace, featuring the world’s largest internally flawless diamond, will go on display in Dubai this weekend.

The Mouawad L’Incomparable Diamond Necklace, which has just been certified as the world’s most valuable necklace by the Guinness World Records, will go on display at the Mouawad boutique at The Dubai Mall from March 22 to April 6.

The necklace features a 407.48 carat yellow diamond, known as the L’Incomparable. Found in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1980, diamond expert Marvin Samuels spent four years supervising the cutting into its flawless form.

The necklace, which made its global debut at the Doha Jewellery and Watch Exhibition in February, will be on display at each of Mouawad’s GCC boutiques.
