The adorable piece and beautiful it would make anyone look couple of times because of how attractive it is, what came to my mind was 'wow'.

The world's most expensive necklace, L’Incomparable has gone onsale for £34million( 8.7 billion naira) The piece was found in a dirt lump by a poverty-stricken African girl. The flawless yellow gem has more than 407 carats. The necklace is studded with 90
white diamonds weighing nearly 230 carats L’Incomparable was found in its rough state weighing 890 carats by a poor African girl as she played in a pile of rubble outside her uncle’s house in the town of Mbuji Mayi in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

When the girl’s uncle saw the lump, he was convinced it was of value and sold it to local African diamond dealers for an unknown sum.The dealers, in turn, sold it to a group of Lebanese buyers operating from Kinshasa, Kenya. Guinness named it the world’s most valuable necklace in 2013 It was created by luxury jeweller Mouawad and is being offered for sale at a Singapore jewellery show. Only serious potential buyers will get the chance to try it on. For the L’Incomparable is protected by an army of security guards, plain-clothed supervisors, cameras, and motion detectors. Yet ‘serious interest’ has been shown by two potential buyers from Asia, Mouawad’s managing director Jean Nasr confirmed.

Chineke!! 8.7 billion?? That can feed me and my children to my 10th generation o...women and jewels, what can seperate them??

Beautiful!

It will soon go on sale in Singapore.
I believe some of the money should go to charity in order to help the local community where the diamond came from.
I believe they must have sold it for a token not knowing the true worth.

because of illiteracy....it blinds you from seeing the great potentials and treasures you have....God help Africa!

Why the emphasis on calling the girl poor? Yes we know she wont be that well off, but is that the only adjective to use in qualifying her?
Anyway, whoever buys this necklace should also contract an army unit to safeguard their house.

And somebody will buy it

Thank You! Thought I am the only one put off by the 'poverty stricken African girl" in the article. Hope she got a good sum too ...
