'Diamonds' is the leading guide of its kind to learning about these
precious gems and understanding the main factors that determine
their value and quality. Whether coming to diamonds for the first
time or already knowledgeable in the field, every reader will find
something of interest and value in its pages. A unique feature of
the book is the chapter dedicated to natural colour diamonds, with
descriptions and illustrations of every colour group. While colour
diamonds are an increasingly important part of the diamond trade,
there is little information about them in the popular literature,
and their full treatment here has received much praise from
readers. The story of diamonds is told from their humble origins in
the form of carbon, the most basic element of life, through their
many transformations by the forces of nature and the human hand on
their way to becoming beautiful gems. The book is equally
informative about the recent history of diamonds and the forces
re-shaping the industry today, including the global shifts in
centres of production and distribution, the implementing of
international ethical standards within the trade, and the emerging
roles of China, India,Russia and Dubai as major players in the
diamond market. The author aims to promote the highest standards of
good practice in the diamond industry to a wider audience.
'Diamonds' is designed with equal attention to the text, written in
clear and jargon-free language, and the images, which show diamonds
in their full range of cuts, shapes and colours, along with some of
the world's most stunning contemporary and historic diamonds.
