287 ct rough, Kunz added an additional 32 facets to the accepted square antique brilliant

cut, bringing the total to ninety. The result is an exceptionally scintillating cut which

returns a great deal of light to the eye. The diamond is known to have been worn by only

two women during its lifetime. It was worn by Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse at the 1957

Tiffany Ball held in Newport, Rhode Island, mounted for the occasion in a necklace of

white diamonds. It was subsequently worn by Audrey Hepburn in 1961 publicity
