The Darya-ye Noor Diamond is the largest pink diamond on earth, so big in fact you could make 182 one carat pink diamonds out of it. They would look positively stunning as engagement rings. The Darya-ye Noor Diamond weighs in at 182 diamond carats! Of course we are not about to cut this diamond into 182 pieces, reason being it is part of the Iranian Crown Jewels. The name Darya-ye Noor means 'Ocean of Light', and this beautiful diamond is pale pink in colour which is extremely rare, maybe even the rarest diamond colour known to man!

The beautiful Darya-ye Noor Diamond, you can see the pale pink colour in this large diamond.	This diamond is bright vivid pink in colour - however the sheer size of the pale pink Darya-ye Noor is what gives it the status and value of a world famous diamond. And the pale pink colour certainly helps.

The Darya-ye Noor Diamond was discovered in India but it was taken by the Iranians during an invasion of India in 1739. The Darya-ye Noor is still in Iran to this day.
