Details
Among the most famous diamonds in history, the Dresden Green Diamond stands apart for its exceptional natural color and royal legacy. Weighing approximately 41 carats, it is the largest natural green diamond ever discovered — a gemstone of unmatched rarity and brilliance.
Its vivid green hue was created by natural irradiation deep within the Earth, giving it a luminous, evenly distributed tone. Remarkably, the stone’s dimensions are undisputed — the pavilion measures 4.9 mm deep and the crown 5.3 mm — making it one of the few historic diamonds without controversy over its appearance or measurements.
Origins and Royal Legacy
The diamond likely originated in India’s Golconda mines, the same region that produced legendary gems like the Koh-i-Noor. First recorded in 1722, it was later purchased by Friedrich August II of Saxony, who set it into an elaborate Order of the Golden Fleece badge and later a royal hat ornament in 1768 — where it remains today in Dresden’s Green Vault Museum.
Cut, Clarity & Significance
A Timeless Symbol of Royal Power
The Dresden Green is more than a gemstone — it’s a symbol of elegance, authority, and scientific wonder. Alongside the Hope Diamond and Koh-i-Noor, it belongs to the exclusive circle of legendary diamonds with royal history that shaped global fascination with rare jewels.
