From their start as religious objects in ancient India to being set in crowns and sceptres over millennia, and up to the present day as the must-have engagement token of choice, can anything <i>quite</i> rival a diamond?

Now as one of the world's most largest cut diamonds goes on sale at Sotheby's, Gemma Champ explores the fascinating story of one diamond in particular - the dramatic 555.5 carat Black diamond, The Enigma.
