Today, So Sister will come to talk to you about the past and present lives of this giant diamond.

The exact origin of the "Eastern Star" is unknown, but it is reported that it may have originated in one of five groups of mines located in southern India and the eastern side of the central Deccan Plateau.

In the mid-17th century, the French gem merchant Tavernier bought a 157.25 ct rough diamond in India, and he later cut it into a 94.78 ct pear-shaped diamond, which is the "Star of the East".

In 1909, Abdul Hamid II was deposed, and some of his jewels appeared in Paris and were sold, and the "Star of the Orient" was one of these jewels.

Pierre Cartier, a French jeweler and third-generation heir to Cartier, acquired the diamond.

The newlyweds traveled to Europe and the Middle East for a three-month honeymoon, and while visiting Cartier in Paris, Pierre Cartier showed Madame Evelyn the diamond, the "Star of the Orient" set in a necklace made up of 34 carats of hexagonal jadeite and underneath a pearl.

Mrs. Evelyn was so impressed with the diamond that she decided to buy it for $200,000 despite her husband's objections.

In 1951, Harry Winston sold the "Star of the Orient" diamond to King Farouq of Egypt, who found the diamond as beautiful as the eyes of his newlywed queen and officially gave it the name that would be passed down to posterity: the Star of the Orient.

Unfortunately, Harry Winston did not receive the full amount paid by the king for the diamonds, and the king was overthrown in 1952.

Harry Winston had to await an investigation and ruling by a government-appointed legal commission that disposed of the former Royal Assets and the Oriental Star in a Safe deposit at a Swiss bank. Years passed, and the bank finally returned the diamond to Harry Winston.
