The Jewelry Exchange Acquires the Sirocco Diamond
Posted on: Wednesday, 15 March 2006, 09:00 CST
The Jewelry Exchange announced that their executive diamond buyer has successfully acquired the famous Sirocco Diamond. This spectacular 16-carat stone was named for the hot winds that blow over North Africa. Legend has it that the original owner of the diamond was en route to meet a potential buyer, when the vehicle he was riding in overturned due to a sudden gust of wind. The beautiful diamond was said to be lost in the sands of the Sahara for many years, until it was mysteriously discovered in the private collection of a reclusive Asian gem collector. The diamond then went through many hands until it came into possession of the Jewelry Exchange during the buyer's recent trip to the Middle East.
The details of the stone are as exceptional as it heritage. Slightly over 16 carats, the round-cut stone is brilliant in reflectance and exceptionally clear. The Sirocco Diamond is now in the Jewelry Exchange's private collection and is not on view to the public or for sale. However, the company has said that they will entertain offers over $142,000 from well-qualified individuals and investors.
The Jewelry Exchange is the nation's leading independent importer of diamonds, and has over 30,000 loose gems in stock, including many in sizes and shapes that are difficult to find elsewhere.
The Jewelry Exchange is owned by Goldenwest Diamond Corporation, and has been operating for over 25 years, with locations in Los Angeles/Tustin, Chicago/Villa Park, San Francisco/Redwood City, Boston/Sudbury, Dallas, Tampa, Seattle/Renton, and Denver/Greenwood Village.

And in Houston, the company operates The Jewelry Source.
