Brisbane, February 12, 2014 -- One of the most famous diamond brands in the world is set to shine in Brisbane. Forevermark, the diamond brand from the De Beers group of companies, has announced Diamonds International as an exclusive retail partner in Brisbane, with a glittering unveiling set for February 12.
The star of the launch in Brisbane will be a magnificent 12 carat Canadian diamond which originated from a 35.80 carat stone, the largest ever to be mined, cut and polished in Canada.
Part of Forevermark's Exceptional Collection, this stunning diamond was mined four years ago at the De Beers' Victor Diamond Mine, home of some of the world's rarest diamonds. It is the first time the diamond has ever been in Australia.
This is the first significant presence of Forevermark in Queensland, and follows the expansion of the Forevermark brand across Asia, North America and the Middle East.
Forevermark diamonds are worn by some of the most famous women in the world, most notably Australia's Nicole Kidman, who dazzled in Forevermark diamonds on the red carpet for the 2008 world premiere of Australia in Sydney.
A wealth of other international female stars have worn Forevermark diamonds -- Michelle Obama, Alicia Keys, Gwyneth Paltrow, Michelle Williams, Jessica Alba, Yasmin Le Bon, Christina Hendricks, Andrea Riseborough, Carey Mulligan, Uma Thurman, Norah Jones and Naomie Harris. Just last week at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, actor Olivia Wilde donned a Forevermark diamond marquise shaped ring totalling just over three carats, and E! Host Giuliana Rancic wore $3 million worth of sparkling Forevermark diamonds including a 14.58 carat ring, this was two among man.
