Ernest Oppenheimer wrote the diamond industry’s quiet rule in a private memo: the only way to raise a diamond’s value is to make it scarce — meaning deliberately reduce how many reach the market

Cecil Rhodes arrived at the Kimberley diamond diggings as a sickly 18-year-old in 1871 and spent seventeen years buying out every rival.
