The Cullinan I at 530.20 carats is certainly impressive, but not many know that it was actually a part of a much larger diamond when it was found. The original diamond of eye-watering 3,106.75 carats was cut into 9 diamonds (Cullinan I to Cullinan IX).

The biggest cut diamond is the relatively unknown Golden Jubilee. A brown diamond that was found in 1985 in South Africa and now belongs to the royal family of Thailand.
