Natural diamonds<\/strong> were formed deep in the earth billions of years ago through complex geological, chemical and physical processes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once reserved for royalty<\/strong>, red carpets<\/strong> and life’s happiest moments<\/strong>, diamonds<\/strong> were seen as symbols of wealth<\/strong> and prosperity<\/strong> that few had access to. But, a new generation of young designers, as well as traditional jewellery houses, including Sabyasachi<\/strong>, Messika<\/strong>, or Fernando Jorge<\/strong>, are making natural diamonds an everyday luxury<\/strong>. Today’s designers magnify diamonds<\/strong> in their collections in unexpected ways, not afraid to play with interesting cuts and shimmering colours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The book offers a retrospective<\/strong> of the current representation<\/strong> of natural diamonds<\/strong> and their continuing impact on the world<\/strong>, immersing the reader in stories about these captivating stones, from the Hope Diamond<\/strong> to the legendary Beau Sancy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Natural Diamond Council<\/strong>‘s mission is to promote the integrity of the modern diamond jewellery industry<\/strong> by inspiring and educating consumers worldwide. “Diamonds are associated with mythical moments, forever etched in the collective memory. But out of the spotlight, all over the world, we all have our own diamond-related memories, reminding us of the magic of once-in-a-lifetime moments,<\/em>” says David Kellie<\/strong>, CEO of the Natural Diamond Council<\/strong>. The organisation is proud to have been able, with the collaboration of Assouline<\/strong>, to bring this book to life to share its passion by inviting the reader to discover the universe of this eternal gem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
