Diamonds tell stories that are captivating and timeless. On the one hand, they are just stones, pieces of pure carbon with optical properties that make them glitter and sparkle like stars. On the other, they are mystical entities hypnotically drawing the viewer into a time machine.

This volume presents a sweeping overview of diamonds across time and space, featuring ten essays by world-renowned scholars. It presents new discoveries; explores extraordinary collections; investigates histories, science, and trade; the nature of diamonds; legendary gems, jewellery collections, and great designers. This publication is richly illustrated with high-quality images of gems and jewels, archival documents, rare drawings, and fabulous photographs.
