With those words Nick Norman opens the romantic and intriguing world of diamonds. This fabulously illustrated book is as much a testimony to the astonishing wonders of nature as to the ingenuity and determination of the men and women in this unique industry.

No other stone has aroused such passion, no business attracted such controversy and nowhere else can one discover such a kaleidoscope of characters.
