Book Diamonds: Diamond Stories by Assouline
Description
Formed billions of years ago deep beneath the earth's surface, natural diamonds have always had an ethereal mysticism about them. Once reserved for royals, red carpets and life's most festive moments, diamonds were considered symbols of wealth and prosperity that only a few could access. But with a new century comes a new expression of luxury, as a new generation of young designers and heritage jewelry houses, including Sabyasachi, Messika, Anita Ko, Boucheron and Fernando Jorge, celebrate natural diamonds as an everyday pleasure. Today's trendsetters are incorporating diamonds into their designs in unexpected ways, unafraid to play with interesting cuts and colorful hues.
Telling the story of today's expression of natural diamonds and their continuing impact on the world, this new volume delves into the stories of the world's most captivating stones, from the Hope diamond to the legend of the Beau Sancy diamond. With stunning images; lies; and interviews with top designers, trendsetters and enthusiasts; Diamonds is the definitive book on the world's most sought-after jewel.
