Diamonds often hold a special place in our lives. They can signal love or an engagement, or come as a family heirloom. SCAD anthropology professor Susan Falls, PhD, explores our relationship to the sparkling gems in her book Clarity, Cut, and Culture: The Many Meanings of Diamonds. Falls says a diamond’s past can inform whether someone wants to wear it in the future.

Susan Falls will give a free talk on the many meanings of diamonds Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Flannery O’Connor House.
