| The diamonds originally belonged to [[Rodislav Bulgarin]] and are first seen in the beginning cutscene of GTA IV where they are brought to [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] on the [[Platypus]], smuggled by the unnamed [[The Cook|cook]]. | | The diamonds arrived in Liberty City on the Platypus, the ship that also brought Niko Bellic to the city. They are believed to have been stolen from original owner Rodislav Bulgarin, who is a previous employer of Niko's. The cook on the ship hid them inside a cake in order to smuggle them into the city. |
|

|
| Later, [[Gay Tony]] and [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis Lopez]] [[Frosting on the Cake|attend a meeting]] with the ship's [[The Cook|cook]] in order to obtain the diamonds. This deal however, was [[Diamonds in the Rough|interrupted]] by [[Johnny Klebitz]] and several members of [[The Lost Brotherhood]], on the orders of [[Ray Boccino]].
| | Bulgarin later arrived in the cityfor two reasons: to find a retrieve his diamonds, and to find and kill Niko whom he believed to have intentionally sunk one of Bulgarin's ships and fled with his money. In fact, the ship was raided and did sink, though Niko bailed and had to swim for his life. |

|
| Following the ambush, Johnny followed and killed Tony's boyfriend, [[Evan Moss]], obtained the diamonds, and then hid them within some garbage in Algonquin (half in a trash bin on [[Hematite Street]], and half in a trash can on [[Emerald Street]]), in which the diamonds [[Taking in the Trash|were collected]] by [[Niko Bellic]], [[Luca Silvestri]], [[Joseph DiLeo|Joseph "Tuna" DiLeo]] and [[Johnny Spaz]].
| | Below explains how the diamonds went around Liberty City, who was invloved with them and why. |
| | |
| After the diamonds were collected, Luca and his crew [[Meltdown|attempt to steal the diamonds for themselves]] and plan to move to Las Venturas, but are stopped and are killed by Niko, who turned them over to Ray.
| |
| | |
| Later on, again on the orders of Ray Boccino, Niko teams up with Johnny, though not for [[Blow Your Cover|the first time]], and attempts to [[Museum Piece|sell the diamonds]] to [[Isaac Roth]] and [[Mori Green]], members of the [[Jewish Mob]] while [[Collector's Item|accompanied by Johnny]] at secret meaning within [[The Libertonian]]. The deal is however [[Not So Fast|interrupted]] by [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis Lopez]], who achieves his goal of stealing the diamonds from Mori Green and delivers them to Tony, who puts them in his safe.
| |
| | |
| Later on, Niko and [[Packie]] kidnap [[Gracie Ancelotti]] on the orders of [[Gerald McReary]] in an attempt to trade her for the diamonds at a later stage. Gay Tony and Luis Lopez agree to [[Ladies Half Price|strike a deal]] to [[Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend|trade the diamonds]] for the safe return of Gracie at an Oil Refinery on [[Charge Island]] after being threatened with death by Gracie's father should Gracie die or not be returned. Soon thereafter, the deal gets underway and seems to be going smoothly until [[Rodislav Bulgarin]] appears, claiming that the diamonds were his before Gay Tony and Luis stole them. Following a shootout, one of Bulgarin's men grabs the diamonds, escapes up onto one of the metal walkways surrounding the refinery, and holds them over the railings when Niko and Packie corner him. Fearful for his life, no matter his decision, he decides to drop them over the railing into a passing [[Biff|dump truck]] before he is promptly killed.

| The last appearance the diamonds have are at the end of [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'s final mission, [[Departure Time]]. Luis meets Tony at the Monoglobe Monument after killing Rodislav Bulgarin on his plane. As he moves towards Tony, he bumps into a [[Jerry Kapowitz|homeless man]], knocking him over. He picks the old man up and walks away, not noticing the old man finding a pouch on the ground. The old man reaches into the pouch and pulls out a diamond, inspects it, puts it back in the bag and runs away laughing.
| |
| | |
| The last mention of the diamonds happens when listening to [[Weazel News]]. It is said that a [[Jerry Kapowitz|homeless man]] found them in the trash, and were valued to be worth $2 million. Hundred people attempt to obtain the diamonds before the mayor makes the decision to give them to the homeless man. The homeless man then speaks of his plan to sell the diamonds and use his money to open up a gun shop and a liquor store in [[Vice City]], but not before buying a large mansion in [[Alderney]].
