Diamond Necklace Worth One Billion Won

For the first time, a diamond necklace worth one billion won has come to Korea. The French jeweller Léon Hatot, which is operating in the luxurious-goods shop, Avenuel, at the Lotte Department Store in Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, will put a one-piece diamond necklace, “Ailes du Desir,” on sale starting June 15.

The necklace, with 42-carat diamonds, was made with only two other necklaces, and the other two were sold abroad.
