The Story of the Peace Diamond

The Story of the Peace Diamond

Hidden for decades and surrounded by controversy, the Peace Diamond became one of the most unusual stories in the world of precious stones.

In this episode, we explore the journey of one of the largest diamonds ever discovered in Sierra Leone, and how its sale became tied to humanitarian efforts and questions about wealth, conflict, and responsibility. What began as a remarkable discovery soon turned into a global conversation about how natural resources affect communities.

Why was it called the Peace Diamond?
How did it change the lives of those connected to it?
And can a valuable resource truly bring peace?

We follow the story from discovery to international attention and examine the bigger questions surrounding diamonds, ethics, and the people behind them.

Because sometimes… the most valuable treasures carry the heaviest stories.
