My thanks go out to:

The Gemological Institute of America, who graciously provided me with both historical and descriptive data on the rare and ever-mysterious black diamond.

To Bob, for sharing his watch expertise, his vast library of relevant historical books, and, most of all, his time.

To Brad and Wendi, my ever-present “rocks” of love and support. When words profound enough to express all that you guys mean to me are invented, I promise to be first in line to claim them. ’Til then,
thanks
and
I love you
will have to do. So, thanks…I love you with all my heart.
