Jacob Jonger is a drill seeker who owns a small manor 3 miles from the Plyremir mine near Pretoria, South Africa. He has been working hard for many years based on his estate. The ground was looking for a drill nearby, but only some small-grain diamonds of poor quality were found. It’s not worth the candle. It’s costing his precious time to drill, and the bad drills he got back in exchange for low rewards, so that he wants to find another way.
One day in 1934, the sky and the sudden overcast of the sky quickly made the thunderstorm a big hit. This weather brings a glimmer of hope to the disheartened Jacob. As usual, with luck, he went out in the rain. This time, he was so eager that he picked up an egg-sized stone. He wiped the muddy water with his hand and examined it carefully. It was empirically concluded that it was a large diamond. He was very excited and thanked Heaven in the rain. When the diamond was taken home, his wife couldn't put it down. She tied the diamond around her neck and enjoyed it for a few days before she sold it to the Diamond Co., Ltd. in Johannesburg with her husband. $315,000. This diamond weighs 726 carats, is blue and white, extremely pure, and later named after the discoverer's name, called "Jongger". To hide the eyes and ears, the diamond "Jongger" was sent to London with a regular postal packet (postage equivalent of $0.64). The great American jeweler Harry Winston is very well informed. When "Jongger" was still on the post, others had already arrived in London. After a month of research on "Jonger", he decided to buy it for $700,000. Harry Winston is not only a jeweler, but also a gem cutter and gem collector. He has a special hobby for collecting diamond treasures. He often travels between diamond buyers and buys the highest price at the sight of a diamond. He has the most famous diamonds in the world. Once the “Jongger†diamond arrived in New York, it was directly sent to the Museum of Natural History by the Customs.
It will continue to be exhibited in six other cities in the United States, with millions of visitors. The diamond finally returned to the Winston office. How to cut it and grind it is a difficult problem in front of Harry Winston. He made several glass replicas and sent them to the most famous diamond honing factory. He eventually handed the "Jongger" diamond to an American eagle of Belgian origin called Lazar Kaplan. Responsible for cutting. On April 27, 1936, the first cut was made. "Jongger" was cut into 12 pieces, and the largest piece was honed into a 142.40-carat diamond-faced diamond with 66 faces, still named "Jongger". . The remaining diamonds, ten pieces were honed into rectangles, and one piece was honed into an oval shape. Except for the smallest two were bought by a landowner in Captara, India, the other nine were bought by unknown collectors. . The largest "Jongger" diamond was later cut into a rectangular diamond with 58 faces by Winston and weighed 124.65 carats. This diamond has been exhibited many times.
