The King of Diamonds, Harry Winston

Alyson Pitarre, writing for Coldwell Banker Previews, has a nice piece about The King of Diamonds, Harry Winston, in the current issue of Homes and Estates magazine.

She gives us an overview of the story of the 601-carat diamond, Lesotho, part of which became Jacqueline Kennedy's engagement ring.

Then there's the 128.25-carat "Ice Queen" that was so blindingly bright that when Eugenie Niarchos wore it out, "the city lights went dim by comparison".

There's a new book about Harry Winston called Harry Winston. It sounds like an interesting story about a passionate man. I am going to read it; let me know if you do, too.
