What's inside

While the museum's permanent home is being transformed, it shows a temporary Highlights Exhibition that follows four centuries of diamond history, from deep within the earth to the finest jewellery collections. The displays include rare objects, crowns and gemstones: a replica of the Dresden Green, at 40.70 carats the largest known green diamond; a replica of the Golden Racquet, a life-size gold tennis racquet set with 1,420 diamonds; and a phosphor-bronze diamond saw that shows how rough stones are cut.
