    💎 When jewelry historian Gemma Sterling inherits her grandmother's antique jewelry box, she discovers it comes with a dark legend: every owner for the past century has met with a mysterious end. Gemma dismisses the superstition as folklore—until a rival appraiser is found dead with one of the box's missing pieces clutched in her hand. Suddenly, Gemma finds herself at the center of a deadly treasure hunt involving cursed diamonds, stolen heirlooms, and a secret society of collectors who will stop at nothing to possess the complete set. With the help of a skeptical museum curator and her knowledge of gemology, Gemma must decode clues hidden in the jewelry's craftsmanship before the curse claims its next victim. But as she uncovers each piece's bloody history, she realizes some family secrets are better left buried in velvet.
