Diamond in the Rough Posted September 14th, 2012

Great infographic! We can’t help but notice there is an important part of diamond history left out though: rough diamonds! Diamonds were originally used and worn in their rough, natural state before cutting and polishing became popular. Rough diamonds to this day continue to play the most important role in the diamond industry.

Ehm…
1382 Queen Anne of Bohemia, are you sure?

The painting in the Infographic likes “Queen Anne of Hungary and Bohemia” by Hans Maler zu Schwaz (in Museo Thysse-Bornemisza) and the period is 1519!
