The AURORA Collection - Rare and Colorful DIAMONDS

The Aurora collection is now on display at London's Natural History Museum! The Aurora collection is composed of 296 colored diamonds with a 267.45 carat weight and has been collected and selected over 25 years by Alan Bronstein, an American dealer and gemologist. 

Bronstein says, "It was like seeing a rainbow," of his initial discovery in 1980 of a canary yellow diamond. Bronstein thinks of the stones not just as valuable, but as "the diversity of nature" and says that "the true value of a collection is sharing it with as many people who are interested to experience nature's diversity of expression."
