Diamonds can be so much more than just the buying and selling we know today. Through the facets of diamonds, referenced research and records, this talk aims to take you deep into the rich historical, cultural and economic contexts which diamonds are associated with, together with its waxing and waning as a gemstone, in an exploratory, interactive and participatory way.
