This is the story of the history of gemstones. Everything from Faberge eggs, to Mikimoto‘s patented pearl culturing process, to how Taylor‘s diamond and the Hope diamond had roots with Marie Antoinette. There are also stories about Elizabeth I, the Spanish thirst for New World emeralds, and the invention of modern wristwatches, among other tales. Interesting stuff! #audiobook
