According to Harry Winston - the souvenir gifts given to Kate & William in Yellowknife today includes stones extracted from the Diavik Diamond Mine, a wide, circular geographic oddity situated on an island in the middle of a lake, just 140 miles south of the Arctic Circle. This year, the mine will produce nearly 7 million carats or $850 million in diamonds.
It took 250 hours to create the two intricate pieces of jewelry. There are more than 692 diamonds between the two pieces -- 302 in the brooch and 390 in the cuff links. The brooch stones are bigger than the ones in the cuff links.
