Today was a very special day. A rough diamond that my father and his business partner the late Ara Arslanian owned, cut and sold in 2003 sold for $17.3 million in Geneva at Christie’s. It was part of a special exhibition of 7 rarest diamonds in the world at the Smithsonian museum. “The story started here”- Hagop Baghdadlian (my father), and the story will continue! Congratulations to the new owners!
