Luxury retailer Louis Vuitton has snapped up the second-largest rough diamond in history as its owner stakes a bigger claim in the high-end jewelry market.

The second-largest diamond ever discovered thought to be worth around £38million is to be turned into Louis Vuitton jewellery.

London-listed mining company Lucara uncovered the 1,758-carat rough diamond in an open-pit mine in Botswana last April.

It was named Sewelo, which means 'rare find' in the local Setswana language.

The giant stone will go to fashion house Louis Vuitton, better known for its handbags and shoes.

The only larger diamond ever found was the 3,106 carat Cullinan Diamond, unearthed in 1905 in South Africa.

It was eventually cut into smaller stones with two of the high-quality diamonds one of 530.4 carats and one 317.4. Both now part of the British crown jewels.
