The Diamond Merchant

A wealthy Dutch collector was searching for a rare diamond to complete his collection. When a renowned New York dealer located the perfect stone, he invited the man to come see it in person.

The Dutchman flew to New York at once. Upon arrival, he was welcomed by the dealer’s top expert—a man with extensive technical knowledge. The expert explained the diamond’s quality, cut, and value in meticulous detail. But after listening carefully, the Dutchman politely declined the purchase.
