First Private Owner Diamonds – Luxist – www.luxist.com _:

The
Nenoir diamonds comes with a First Private Owner certificate as well as the stone’s history which ensures that you are
the first owner directly form the mine.

Speaking of creating value out of, um, marketing hype. While it’s nice to see good diamonds with clear, conflict free origin, when I asked Laurie how much more she’d pay for being the first owner of a gem, she just gave me That Look, and then laughed.

To me, it’s sort of like the star registries — but a lot more expensive.

of course, you end up with a pretty white stone, and that’s good for something. the rest? I’d rather have a used, bigger stone. not like they have expirations dates on them.
