At the very summit of the diamond world sit the type IIA stones, and these type IIA D-flawless diamond earrings, 16 carats, belong to that rarefied company. Type IIA diamonds are chemically the purest in nature, almost wholly free of the nitrogen that tints lesser stones, and the result is a clarity and transparency that connoisseurs prize above all other classes of diamond. Graded D in colour, the very top of the scale, and flawless in clarity, the stones described here represent the convergence of the two most exacting measures a diamond can meet, in a class that accounts for a vanishingly small fraction of all stones ever found. To hold a matched pair at 16 carats in this grade is to hold something that scarcely comes to market in a generation, an acquisition that is as much a tangible store of value as it is a jewel. The cut and metal will be furnished on request, and any individual figures beyond those stated are recorded only as they can be verified rather than estimated, because a stone of this stature is owed absolute precision and nothing less. On the matter of documentation, an independent certificate is essential at this level and can be arranged the moment you ask, and we will gladly obtain that report so the diamonds may be assessed on fully verified terms before any commitment. Diamonds of this purity and weight do not depreciate with fashion; they are the kind of holding that quietly anchors significant wealth and passes between generations as both heirloom and asset. Worn, a pair of this grade reads as the most discreet possible expression of the highest luxury, brilliant to the closest eye yet understated in a way that only true rarity can afford. Counted among our high-jewellery earrings, these stones answer the most serious collector of all, the one who measures a diamond by its place in the rarest class rather than by its show. The pair is presented by Legacy Diamonds and Gemstones, our assurance that the stones, the documentation and the discreet service behind them meet a single uncompromising standard, with any number associated with the stones available on request. Diamonds of this importance we present only privately and under appropriate arrangement, where the stones can be examined with their reports, weighed in the hand, and every question of provenance answered fully and without pressure. Pricing is discussed in complete confidence, one collector at a time, never across a counter. A type IIA D-flawless diamond earring of this weight rewards the most considered decision a collector ever makes; when you are ready to examine stones of this class, we would be honoured to arrange it.
