The Hope Diamond, the Peregrine Pearl, the Koh-i-Noor, the Regent Diamond, the lost Romanov tiara, Marie Antoinette's necklace... These legendary jewels leave a bloody trail of betrayals, murders, wars, and overthrown dynasties.

Queens and emperors, billionaires and socialites—all have fallen captive to the fatal beauty of these stones. Beautiful and deadly, these jewels enchanted their owners with an aura of mystery and doom.

Having survived revolutions, fires, and looting, these treasures hold stories of human greed and obsession. Their dark legend is a mirror reflecting the darkest side of our nature.

Ana Trigo invites you on a captivating journey through the destinies of exceptional symbols of power and the people whose lives they destroyed. These are stories of the unbridled desire to possess perfection—the kind of beauty that can both inspire and destroy.
