The author was a newspaperman and the editor of the Salt L ake City Tribune. His style is a curious blend of the journalistic with the romantic. The scenes move easily between the Comstock Lode, England, and the mines of South Africa. The Comstock Lode was the group of celebrated silver and gold mines near Virginia City, Nevada. Between 1859-1870 it yielded well over 300 million tons of valuable ore. The profits made from the Lode accounted for much of the economic growth of the West in the late 19th century.

RElie, Hardback, 240 x 300mm., 200pp., 150 illustrations couleur et b/w. French. ISBN 9789085864387. Pour la premiere fois, une recherche approfondie est faite sur l'histoire des femmes, qui ont fait les modes des bijoux diamantes. Curieusement, ces femmes sont souvent synonymes de charisme, l'intelligence et d'audace. Non seulement croqueuses de diamants, elles sont surtout un modele pour leur generation. Grace a leur style de vie, leur mode vestimentaire et leurs joyaux elles lancent de nouvelles tendances. Il s'agit bien d'une belle histoire, ou a chaque epoque de la civilisation humaine, les femmes se liberent peu a peu. Parfois scandaleuses dans le contexte du temps, elles aident a developper l'image de la femme libre. Chaque epoque a sa Diva et chaque Diva ne peut qu'etre vue qu'a travers son epoque. D'abord femmes de pouvoir, comme Elisabeth Iere d'Angleterre, ou encore Catherine II Russie, elles se rendent parfaitement compte de l'importance de leur image. C'est a travers cette image de pouvoir, si souvent exprimee par des bijoux somptueux, qu'elles etonnent les autres monarques. Louis XIV et Napoleon, eux aussi, auront compris l'utilite de cet ornement fort, qu'est le bijou diamante. Longtemps, les cours royales de France sont l'exemple de la splendeur et le faste du pouvoir monarchique. D'autres suivront l'exemple en commandant de majestueuses collections. Plus tard au XIXeme siecle, femmes riches et epouses de grands industriels se laissent tenter par de nombreuses parures en diamants, symboles de richesse. D'autres, comme l'Imperatrice Elisabeth d'Autriche ou encore Eugenie de France lancent des modes grace a leur notoriete et leur beaute. Elles deviennent le symbole de l'elegance. Des legendes comme Sarah Bernhardt, Gloria Swanson, Marlene Dietrich, Elisabeth Taylor ou la Duchesse de Windsor sont souvent associees a leurs bijoux, comme si ces joyaux ne font plus que un avec la Diva. Actuellement elles inspirent encore de nombreux createurs et Maison de joaillerie. Aux Etats-Unis, des femmes comme Doris Duke, Daisy Fellowes ou encore Barbara Hutton seront surtout renommees pour leur collection legendaire de bijoux et leur gout exquis. Grace de Monaco, Jackie Kennedy et meme Marilyn Monroe, nous rappellent des moments mythiques, comme un mariage, une apparition en public, un extrait de film, en les associant a tout jamais aux couronnes, colliers et autres. Aujourd'hui encore, des femmes exceptionnelles, portent les plus beaux joyaux du monde. Si ce n'est que lors d'une montee des marches de Cannes, d'Holly- ou Bollywood, toutes ces Divas nous font rever a tout jamais..
