Doris "Diamond Heistess" Payne

Color, cut, clarity, carat. Brush up on your gemology, we're stepping back into 1960's Cleveland with the world's most notorious jewel thief—"Diamond Doris" Payne—the silky coal miner's daughter who became a self-taught diamond bandit worth millions. From her soot-covered childhood in West Virginia to walking out of the Cartier store in Monaco with a $500,000 ring on her finger, getting in bed with the mob, are diamonds even rare?, Jewish boyfriends, movie adaptations and not drinking, this is an international tale of intrigue, glamor and sunglasses. Don't call the police.
