圖錄文章
- Since the founding of De Beers in 1888, it has been the leading force in diamond mining and trading industry, as well as being one of the oldest and most renowned high jewellers. Until the start of the 21st century, it held approximately 80% of the world's rough diamond supply and distribution.

- To commemerate the beginning of the new millennium, De Beers introduced the Starburst Diamonds 2000 hourglass, filled with 2,000 octahedral rough diamonds suspending in the silicone fluid enclosed in a acrylic tube. The diamonds flow smoothly, and with the illuminated plinth switched on, the light casts onto the diamonds creating a gentle glowing effect.

- An hourglass for timekeeping might be obsolete with precise clockwork we have nowadays, but this luxurious table ornament surely is an interesting take to the traditional sand hourglasses, bringing motions to your enclosed living or work space.
