The idol’s eye gets its name from it’s unusually shaped cut and its propensity to look like it would fit into an Indian idol’s eye shaped orifice. Gemologists characterize the cut as being something between an old mine cut and a triangular brilliant cut. It is set with 18 smaller brilliants exacerbating it’s eyeball look. The Idol’s Eye is a 70 carat Golcondan diamond from India, characterized by the bluish tinge commonly found in diamonds from that source.
