Louis Vuitton's interest in the high-end jewellery market is proven after this major purchase...

Introducing Sewelo โ€“ the palm-sized diamond rock that Louis Vuitton just acquired.

Considered to be the worldโ€™s second-largest diamond, the 1,758 touch diamond was first recovered by Lucara Diamond Corp in Botswana in April 2019.

The name, Sewelo, originates from the southern African Tswana language and translates to โ€œrare findโ€.

In a move that furthers the French maisonโ€™s commitment to strengthening its high-end jewellery portfolio, Louis Vuitton, together with Lucara, have yet to put a price on the stunning piece.

In a statement, it was stated that โ€œthe purpose of this unprecedented collaboration between a miner, a cutting-edge manufacturer and a large luxury brand will be the planning, cutting and polishing of a collection of diamonds from Sewelรด.โ€
