The Enduring Enigma Of The Black Diamond, Luxury

From their start as religious objects in ancient India to being set in crowns and sceptres over millennia, and up to the present day as the must-have engagement token of choice, can anything <i>quite</i> rival a diamond? No. Their preternatural lustre and hardness is due to age - it takes billions of years to make a diamond – so, no surprise we're still enthralled by these gems. Now as one of the world's most largest cut diamonds goes on sale at Sotheby's, Gemma Champ explores the fascinating story of one diamond in particular - the dramatic 555.5 carat Black diamond, The Enigma.
