The History of the Victoria’s Secret Fantasy Bra
Kylie Jenner brought a new chapter to one of fashion’s most extravagant traditions when she wore the Fantasy Bra at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles on October 18, 2026. Created by Jacob & Co. and reported at US$50 million, the piece placed extraordinary diamonds at the centre of the runway.
How Fancy Coloured Diamonds Are Graded: Natural and Lab-Grown
A fancy coloured diamond is valued for the colour it shows face-up. Whether it is natural or laboratory-grown, a gemmological laboratory examines the diamond and documents its colour and identifying characteristics. The grading process helps you understand what you are shopping for, how the colour is described, and whether the diamond’s colour is natural, treated, or associated with laboratory growth.
