Specialist note

‘Diamonds are about perfection and clarity and wealth and sex and death and immortality. They are a symbol of everything that's eternal, but then they have a dark side as well.’
(D. Hirst, quoted in R. Nikkhah, ‘Damien Hirst courts controversy with diamond-studded baby's skull’, in The Telegraph, 9 January 2011)
