A symbol of power, a promise of marriage and a girl’s best friend, the diamond is unmatched by any other gemstone in the world. The Story of the Diamond gives background on merchants, traders and jewellers, from Cartier to Harry Winston, as well as legendary and rare stones, such as the cursed Hope, the stolen Koh-i-Noor and the ransomed Idol’s Eye.

With indepth information on styles, cuts, colors and carats, and both natural and lab-grown stones, there is advice on selecting and buying sustainably sourced diamonds.
