World's Finest diamond...but it's so small?

Today, we commonly see celebrities or richer people displaying their large "rocks" (or diamonds) on their wedding rings, but none even shine in the shadow of this particular diamond. Previously known as the "Unnamed Brown", the Golden Jubilee is the world's largest diamond.The Golden Jubilee, has a weight of 545.67 carats, is the largest faceted diamond in the world. The diamond disguised in its "rough stone", was discovered in Premier mine, South Africa in 1985. But, even though a diamond is a coveted jewel, this particular one has a story to its beginning. The Golden Jubilee was presented to the King of Thailand in 1997 for his Golden Jubilee - the 50th anniversary of his coronation. Pricing on the unnamed brown has greatly grown throughout the years. The most recent estimated value of the Golden Jubilee is $4-$12 million....but to some that is a small price to pay for one of the world's most coveted diamonds.
