Arthur Ha: This is beautiful and its going to be auctioned on my birthday, what a moment to remember, since it is already very rare to have a diamond over 10 carats to be D colour and flawless. although II A is not an official colour grade in the GIA examination certificate, but it is noted that it is very rare to get a comment such as this. officially D colour is the highest grade but II A is an addition in the whiteness of the diamond, in an other words it is whiter than white. this is absolutely a rare gem

MJ was a frequenter of many of the fine hotels in the Kiwi Collection. And, well, he wasn’t always the easiest guest. Here are some of Michael Jackson’s most memorable hotel moments. Michael Jackson Unleashes his Inner Child at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower: 2007 Are we really surprised to learn that Michael Jackson demanded that a children’s xylophone, sweets and gigantic 6 foot by 6 foot mirror be brought up to his room while he was checking in to the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in London? It was rumored at the time that he was in London in 2007 to sell his rights to his catalogue of Beatles Songs after running up huge debts which were believed to total an unthinkable £180 million!
