Lazare Diamonds Million Dollar Evening Jacket

Lazare Diamonds recently collaborated with Japanese designer Ritsuko Shirahama, to create an unusual, one-of-a-kind diamond couture evening jacket valued at $1 million.

The jacket, which debuted at the JCK Las Vegas show earlier this month, is adorned with 2,000 ideal cut Lazare Diamonds, totaling 300 carats, as well as two pounds of platinum.

"The concept of a one-of-a-kind couture jacket exemplifies the drama and rare beauty of Lazare Diamonds and the talent and design innovation of Ritsuko Shirahama," said Marcee Feinberg, vice president of marketing for Lazare Kaplan.

The Lazare Diamond couture evening jacket is scheduled to tour around the world and is already booked to appear at retail stores throughout the U.S.
