Moussaieff’s Bond Street boutique contains jewels that are beyond the dreams of the most avaricious Saudi princess, despite the fact that her most important coloured diamonds – including what is arguably the rarest coloured diamond in the world, remain in her bank vault.
The Moussaieff Red, shown at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, in 2003 and London’s Natural History Museum in 2005, is a 5.11-carat fancy red triangular-shaped diamond.
Holding and polishing the Moussaieff Red is rather akin to stroking the Mona Lisa’s cheek.

 Iceland
When an Israeli border guard delayed and insulted First Lady Dorrit Moussaieff, of Jewish descent and born in Israel, on her departure from that country following a private visit, Moussaieff remarked that the border guard's behavior was the type that led to anti-Semitism.
A major daily newspaper caricatured the affair in a cartoon showing Moussaieff leading her husband, President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson (portrayed as preparing himself for a fistfight) toward a group of grim-faced Jews-stereotypically rendered with hats, beards, and prominent noses-waiting behind the Western ("Wailing") Wall.
The caption read, "Give the damn Jews a good beating, dear Oli." The cartoonist's main aim appears to have been to mock the president- who has not publicly commented on the incident-for subservience to his wife.
