Diamond for Valentine's Day
A short history of the Habsburg Diamond from the NYT
I haven’t been writing much on Substack because I’ve been dealing a LOT with arthritis pain, fibromyalgia pain, and axonal neuropathy pain. It’s quite a bundle to handle at the same time. It all might settle down when the weather gets warmer. Thank God for pain medication.
So, instead of me being clever, I offer you a wonderful article about the Habsburg Diamond, “The Florentine Diamond Resurfaces,” from the New York Times on November 6, 2025 by Robin Pogrebin.
