Natural red diamonds are among the rarest gems on the planet, but the Winston red diamond is even more special. At 2.33 carats, it’s one of the largest examples of a diamond with a “fancy red” color grading. A gift of Ronald Winston in 2023, it will be on exhibit in the National Museum of Natural History’s Winston Gallery, named after Ronald’s father, Harry Winston, alongside 40 other diamonds from the Winston Fancy Color Diamond Collection.
