Join diamond experts, scientists and campaigners to explore how man's addiction to adornment has fuelled passion, corruption and conflict.
Worn for status, symbolism or for fashion's sake, adorning our bodies
with beads or glittering gemstones is an ancient custom. Do we still need these displays in the 21st century? Is wearing your wealth just a crude statement of excess? Join us to explore man's addiction to adornment and find out whether we have really changed in the last 150,000 years.
