the Mouna Diamond
The Mouna Diamond weighs 112.53 carats and is VS1 clarity. When it was submitted to the Gemological Institute of America on November 9th, 1995, they stated that up until this date it was the largest Fancy Intense Yellow diamond that they had ever graded. The cushion-shaped stone is 26 mm in diameter set in a baguette-cut mount by Bulgari, which with it the diamond has a height of 36 mm. It was sold by Christie's in Geneva on November 16th, 1998, lot 161, and fetched $3,258,000 (about $28,773 per carat).
hmm I've never heard of her before. It looks like in the more recent photo's she's had some major work done since she looks younger than in the older photos....
She is at 1:05 in this video speaking on the SS97 Dior HC show looking beautiful. I wish there was more known of her couture collection. Mouna Ayoub has owned since the beginning of the 1980s the largest private collection of haute couture, composed of more than 10,000 items, which she continues to add to each season. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwLqC-YaaQo
Just kidding But the great thing about this woman is that she hardly changed the designs of her pieces from the orginal runway form, something that is extremely common within the Couture community.
