I'm training to become a jeweler right now, so I need to know both the science and the culture behind diamonds. The Nature of Diamonds covers both aspects. It's written in layman's terms, so it's perfect for studying independently. Plus, the diagrams and photography are excellent. It's easy to read while sipping coffee or waiting for a bus.

This is a good book which provides us enormous amount of information about the history and the composition of diamonds. However, there are two little illustrations. Anyway, the pictures are exceptional.
