It took two decades, millions of dollars, and a box of ruined and ‘exploded’ diamonds for a Wellington jeweller to finally be a step closer to a billion-dollar payout and create the 'Floeting Diamond'.

Nationwide Jewellers has announced the winners for its Annual Awards 2021 during the pre-Christmas virtual expo initiated last year under COVID-19 restrictions. The buying group’s awards are traditionally held at a gala dinner each year in Sydney, to coincide with the International Jewellery & Watch Fair.
