100 Carats: Icons of the Gem World is an exciting new exhibition located inside the Hixon Gem Vault in the Gem and Mineral Hall of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. It runs from December 8, 2023 to April 21, 2024 and is free with museum admission. The centerpiece of the exhibit is undoubtedly the exceptional, massive 125.37 ct historical Jonker I Diamond, whose storied past is museum worthy on its own but the brilliance, clarity, and size make it beyond compare.

This exhibition, in collaboration with Robert Procop Exceptional Jewels, does not stop simply at the Jonker I Diamond but showcases many jaw-dropping gem displays, with over two dozen exemplarily gemstones never seen before in public.
