Rare Carat's gemologists and data scientists, meanwhile, told ELLE.com that they estimate the ring would retail for $450,000. "The diamond has great clarity which is hard to find in a large fancy colored diamond, especially a light brown," Rare Carat explained. "The cutting style is different to the norm, too. It is cut as an 'old cut,' which is an antique style of cutting. You will notice an angular pear shape in the middle—that is an open culet which is how they used to cut diamonds before modern cutting methods were developed. The open culet means the base is flat, not pointy. If it is indeed a Type IIA diamond, it has the rarest chemical structure type for a diamond and the most coveted. This type has no nitrogen impurities. Famous large diamonds, like the Cullinan and Koh-i-Noor were also Type IIA."
