International Diamonds Number Two, edited by A. N. Wilson and published by Diamond Annual in 1972, is a fascinating glimpse into the glittering world of the international diamond industry during the height of its 20th-century prominence. Blending journalism, commerce, and cultural insight, this volume continues the International Diamonds series’ mission to document the artistry, science, and trade that define one of the world’s most captivating commodities.
Lavishly illustrated with photographs, advertisements, and profiles of key figures in the gem trade, the book highlights the craftsmanship behind diamond cutting, the global economics of mining, and the allure of the finished jewel. Essays and features by leading industry writers explore topics ranging from South African production and international marketing to fashion and design trends shaped by the diamond’s enduring appeal.
Both a historical snapshot and a collector’s piece, International Diamonds Number Two reflects the sophistication and optimism of the early 1970s jewellery industry. Ideal for gemologists, historians of trade, and collectors of vintage luxury publications, it remains a sparkling testament to the global fascination with the diamond’s brilliance and its role as a symbol of beauty, rarity, and prestige.
