MOUAWAD• GIA in Carlsbad The Robert Mouawad Campus

• In 1994 Mouawad Hired me for special assignments

• GIA Campus In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Offered the position to be the President? To me, it was beyond a great offer, it was an amazing compliment!!!!!! I just had to say no! Because that would require a long term stay in Saudi Arabia and I just chose not to.

• That is when Mouawad offered about 6 million dollars to GIA and ultimately GIA Campus is named after him in Carlsbad!

AHMADABADWITH SULTAN OF BRUNEI

The Ahmedabad diamond gets it's name from the city of Ahmedabad the capital of Gujarat State in central-western India, where the diamond was reported to have been purchased by Jean Baptiste Tavernier in the 17th century A.D.

JEAN-BAPTISTE TAVERNIER

Jean-Baptiste Tavernier was born in Paris of a French family (1605 – 1689) was a 17th-century French gem merchant and traveler. Traveling at his own expense, 120,000 miles making six voyages to Persia and India between the years 1630-1668.

Jean Baptiste Tavernier, not only purchased the rough diamond at Ahmedabad, but also got it cut by the renowned master-cutters based in this ancient city. Tavernier claimed he bought for one of his friends.

Tavernier is best known for the discovery/purchase of the 116 carat Tavernier Blue Diamond that he subsequently sold to Louis XIV of France in 1668 for 120,000 livres the equivalent of 172,000 ounces of pure gold and a letter of ennoblement, Five years later, Louis had his court jeweler Jean Pitau recut the stone into the 68 carat French Blue and had it set as a hat pin. The gem was reset by his grandson Louis XV in The Medal of The Order of the Golden Fleece, stolen in 1792 and was recut and re-emerged in London 30 years later as The Hope Diamond In 1669 Tavernier purchased for 60,000 livres.
