Mumbai: The Natural Diamond Council (NDC), in partnership with New York-based publishing house Assouline, is launching a coffee-table book called Diamonds later this month. Diamonds is a collection of anecdotes from a host of interesting people starring the world’s most sought-after tangible luxury good.

The book features celebrities like Maria Borges, Dua Lipa, Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Shawn Mendes and its foreword has been written by Edward Enninful, Editor in Chief of British Vogue.

This new volume dives into tales of the world’s most captivating stones, from the Hope Diamond to the legend of the Beau Sancy Diamond. It also includes stunning images; tall tales; and interviews with top designers, tastemakers, and enthusiasts alike.

“While it is these pop culture diamond moments that are forever etched in our collective memories; out of the spotlight, all around the world, people are having their own diamond moments,” said David Kellie, CEO of NDC.

Among the new crop of young designers and heritage jewellery houses included in its pages are Sabyasachi, Messika, Anita Ko, Boucheron, and Fernando Jorge.
