In 2000, Tom Zoellner purchased a diamond engagement ring and proposed. His girlfriend said, "yes" and then, suddenly, walked out of his life making Tom the owner of a used engagement ring. Instead of hitting the self-help shelves of his local bookstore, he hit the road travelling to diamond mines in Africa, Canada, India, Brazil and Russia to discover the true worth of this shining gem. He travelled to Japan to understand how diamonds were linked with engagements and delved into the history of our own romance with the diamond ring. He gained entry to DeBeers, the London diamond merchants. He visited shopping mall jewellers with starry-eyed couples. Through all of his travels, he searched for an answer to the question "How has one stone created empires, ruined lives, inspired lust and emptied wallets throughout history?" A diamond version of Susan Orleans' "The Orchid Thief", Tom Zoellner's The Heartless Stone is a journey to the cold heart of the world's most unyielding gem.

评分电影《色戒》中,梁朝伟看似云淡风轻地说出了一句:“我对钻石不感兴趣,我只想看它带在你的手上”,彻底击溃了汤唯的心理防线,沦为爱情的阶下囚,改变了命运,那颗6克拉“鸽子蛋”的震慑力可见一斑。然而,从另一个层面来讲,易先生的话指出了人们重视的并不是钻石这个物体本...
