New Delhi, Nov 3 Formed billions of years ago deep below the surface of the earth, natural diamonds have always had an ethereal mysticism about them. Once reserved only for royals, red carpets, and lifes most celebratory moments, diamonds were seen as 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 crop of young designers and heritage jewellery houses alike including Sabyasachi, Messika, Anita Ko, Boucheron, and Fernando Jorge are celebrating natural diamonds as an everyday indulgence. Today's tastemakers are incorporating diamonds into their designs in unexpected ways, unafraid to play around with interesting cuts and colourful hues.
In telling the story of today's expression of natural diamonds and their continuous impact on the world, a new coffee table volume dives into tales of the world's most captivating stones, from the Hope Diamond to the legend of the Beau Sancy Diamond. Featuring stunning images; tall tales; and interviews with top designers, tastemakers, and enthusiasts alike; Diamonds is the definitive book on the world's most sought-after jewel.
Richa Singh, Managing Director - India & the Middle East, Natural Diamond Council said, "Natural diamonds are a timeless embodiment of classical beauty that never goes out of style. A piece of jewellery can make you feel so special like you walked into a room not alone but with your own 10 thousand. It is a thrilling experience for us to introduce this book which brings out the fascinating nature of the stone. Featuring jewellery designers, fashionistas and celebrities, this book will be every diamond lover's favourite and a great coffee table addition."
