Dazzling Diamonds


I am wearing a vintage dress, and a Mulberry leather jacket. Belt by Escada, glasses by Bvlgari, bag by Michael Kors, tights by MaxMara and shoes from Kurt Geiger
The Talisman Crown has 974 diamonds, including a 73 carat rough diamond. I went to see this astounding piece at De Beers in Westfield London. The crown has been created to celebrate the Queen`s Diamond Jubilee.
Looking at it, I remembered paying a visit to De Beers HQ, almost a decade ago, and being greeted by my host, who asked me to hold two pieces of uneven rock, each containing a murky looking slice of glass. To my astonishment, he explained I was holding rough diamonds worth 1.5million.
