- Additional information
- This book was commissioned by Reaktion Books and supported by a Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship (2014) which covered costs of research and illustrations (£16,777). Research in preparation for writing Brilliant Effects: A Cultural History of Gem Stones and Jewellery (Yale University Press 2010 pp. 368) indicated to Pointon that diamonds merited a separate study on account of their historic pre-eminence as gems and because of their widespread applications in science, technology and design, their centrality to colonial history, and their traditional associations with sentiment in the West. This book adopts an interdisciplinary mode of enquiry to address these issues.
