The diamond was presented to the king at Sandringham House by Agent-General of the colony, Sir Richard Solomon, on 9 November 1907 – his sixty-sixth birthday – in the presence of a large party of guests, including the Queen of Sweden, the Queen of Spain, the Duke of Westminster and Lord Revelstoke. [16] The king asked his colonial secretary, Lord Elgin, to announce that he accepted the gift "for myself and my successors" and that he would ensure "this great and unique diamond be kept and preserved among the historic jewels which form the heirlooms of the Crown". [12] King Edward gave the larger diamond the name Great Star of Africa, while the smaller diamond was named the Smaller Star of Africa. [17] Cutting process [ edit ] Joseph Asscher making the split On 10 February 1908, the rough stone was split in half by Joseph Asscher at his diamond-cutting factory in Amsterdam. [20] At the time, technology had not yet evolved to guarantee the quality of modern standards, and cutting the diamond was difficult and risky. After weeks of planning, an incision 0.5 inches (1.3cm) deep was made to enable Asscher to cleave the diamond in one blow. Making the incision alone took four days, and a steel knife broke on the first attempt, [4] but a second knife was fitted into the groove and split the stone cleanly in two along one of four possible cleavage planes. [21] In all, splitting and cutting the diamond took eight months, with three people working 14 hours per day to complete the task. [4]
