World Record: 6690 diamonds in ring - Video

Surat, June 29: In a major achievement, Two Indian diamond jewelers from the capital of Surat, Vishal Agarwal and Khushbu Agarwal, both based in Surat, Gujarat, have created a Guinness World Record by setting a staggering 6,690 diamonds into a single ring.

The 18-karat rose gold ring is shaped like a lotus flower with 48 diamond-encrusted petals. And, no, it doesn't come cheap. According to Guinness World Records, the ring is valued at USD 4,116,787 - that's approximately Rs.28 crore.

The lotus diamond ring weighs just over 58 grams and took six months to design and craft. According to Guinness World Records, the diamonds used for the project were verified as conflict-free from independent sources.

The jewelers add that the idea behind creating the massive ring was to raise awareness about water conservation. They settled on a lotus flower design because it is the national flower of India and because it depicts "the beauty growing in the water-world".

A video of the glittering diamond ring was shared by Guinness World Records on Facebook, where it has been viewed over four lakh times.
