Lauren’s 20-plus carat diamond boulder was on full display — loud, proud and blinding — as the couple pulled into the small village of Beaulieu Friday in the South of France.

She was wearing a low-cut orange maxi dress while Jeff kept it casual in a tight tee and white pants … aka vacay Bezos-mode.

Canada’s Sarah Mitton opened her Diamond League season with an 18.56-metre throw but couldn’t build off the solid effort, placing fifth in women’s shot put on Sunday in Rabat, Morocco.

Ranked second in the world, Mitton threw 18.98 in Oslo, Norway, 19.90 in Stockholm and 19.44 in Poland last year on the Diamond League professional track and field circuit

US firm aims to cut investors in on the $1.2tn diamond market

A New York-based technology company is trying to succeed where several firms have failed and make the $1.2tn global market for diamonds more accessible to financial investors, through the creation of a futures contract and a fund tracking the price of the gems.
