==Description==
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 Ray 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.

Bulgarin later arrived in the city for 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.
Luis Lopez acompanied Tony Prince when he went to buy the diamonds off the cook who brought them. Johnny Klebitz and the Lost MC crashed the meet under orders from Ray Boccino however, with many Lost members chasing Luis and Tony, and Johnny chasing Evan Moss; Tony's boyfriend who was holding the diamonds.
Luis and Tony managed to hold off the bikers using sticky bombs, and made it safely back to Maisonette 9.


The first chronological appearance is in TLAD, after Johnny Klebitz is introduced to Ray Boccino through his old girlfriend Ashley Butler, Ray tells him about diamonds which are being purchased by Anthony Prince, and his bodyguard/business partner Luis Lopez, from the Cook who had brought them into the country. He instructs Johnny to [[Diamonds in the Rough|raid]] the [[Frosting on the Cake|purchase]]. Johnny successfully stole the diamonds after an extended chase with Evan Moss who was killed. He then hid half of the diamonds on Jade Street, and the other half on Hematite Street in Algonquin. The diamonds were later [[Taking in the Trash|collected]] by Niko Bellic, [[Luca Silvestri]], [[Joseph DiLeo]], and [[Johnny Barbosa]]. Afterwards Niko fails to make sure, Luca and his crew hand the diamonds over to Ray Boccino. The three never did, and conspired to flee to Las Venturas, until Niko [[Meltdown|killed them and retrieved them]].
Johnny had meanwhile caught up with Evan and killed him, stealing the diamonds, then hid them in the trash as instructed by Ray, who sent Niko Bellic and Luca Silvestri out to collect them while disguised as binmen. Unfortunately, Luca and his crew conspired to flee to La Venturas with the diamonds, but Niko caught up with them and killed them, retrieving the diamonds. He returned the diamonds to Ray.


Following this Ray sent Niko to an [[Museum Piece|exchange]] with [[Issac Roth]] at the Libertonian. Johnny was [[Collector's Item|also there]], to take his cut of the money. During the deal Luis Lopez [[Not So Fast|ambushed the deal]] killing [[Mori Green]] in the process who was inspecting the diamonds. During which Johnny stole the 2,000,000 and escaped after, while Niko was forced to flee the museum with nothing. Shortly after, Jim Fitzgerald was tortured by Ray in the basement of Drusilla's, in an attempt to get the money, but escaped with Johnny's help. After escaping Jim went to get more members of the Lost for backup, and Johnny went to see Ashley. Niko was then ordered by Phil Bell, and Ray to [[No Way on the Subway|murder Jim]]. Whilst being chased by Niko, Johnny was [[Was It Worth It?|fighting off hitmen]] that were sent by Ray. Johnny survived, but Jim didn't. While confident that  the hitmen are taking care of Johnny, Ray tells Niko the Issac is blaming the blotched deal on him, and is threatening to have him killed. Niko is then sent to the Majestic Hotel to murder him. Afterwards Ray tells Niko that Johnny disappeared with the money, and anyone who would know where the diamonds are, are dead. The diamonds also support that Ray was the one in the Pegorino Family who was undermining the operation, and led Jimmy Pegorino closer to his decision of Ray being killed.
Ray soon found a buyer for the diamonds in the form of Isaac Roth and the Jewish mob. Ray gave Niko the diamonds, who met Johnny at the Libertonian museum to help sell the diamonds to Isaac. Tony Prince, who had dscovered this sent Luis to interupt the deal and take back the diamonds he and Tony bought originally. Luis shot Mori Green as he inspected the diamonds, sparking chaos in the museum. Isaac took the diamonds but Luis caught him and knocked him out, reclaimed the diamonds and returned them to Tony. Johnny stole all the cash and gave it to Jim Fitzrerald to hold on to, while Niko escaped with nothing.  


At the time of this, Luis Lopez was working with Ray Bulgarin. Bulgarin eventually uncovered that Luis, and Tony had the diamonds which were his. He assumed that they were plotting with the cook against him, and [[In the Crosshairs|lured Luis into a trap]]. At the trap he sees the decapitated head if the cook left in a birthday cake box. In an ironic twist it was the same box used to smuggle the diamonds. Gerald McReary also organized the kidnapping of [[Gracie Ancelotti]] for the diamonds as ransom. The kidnapping was relatively easy to Niko, as he pretended he was interested in the pink Feltzer she had to sell for her DUI. Due to the enormous debt of Tony to the Ancelottis, Luis, and Tony would be held responsible for the condition of Gracie. Ancelottis not wanting to give up the diamonds, sent the two to [[Ladies' Night|follow one of the kidnappers to their hideout]]. Once they had the location, Giovanni Ancelotti [[She's a Keeper|sent some of his family to try to get her back]]. This was however unsuccessful. Unable to find her, he [[Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend|struck a deal]] with the kidnappers, and [[Ladies Half Price|sent the two to retrieve Gracie]]. The deal however was broken up by Bulgarin, who wanted to get revenge on Niko, and obtain his diamonds. Luis, Tony, and Gracie got away, while Niko, and Packie had to fend off the attackers. They eventually cornered the guy who took them. Seeing how there was no way out (either giving the diamonds to them, and being killed by Bulgarin, or keeping them, and being killed by them, and having them take them) decides to throw them into traffic. He is then killed, and the two make their escape.  
As Ray was without the money or the diamonds, he captured Jim and and tortured him, Johnny arrived and the two escaped, so Ray sent Niko after Jim and numerous hitmen after Johnny. Niko succeeded and killed Jim, but Johnny survived Ray's hitmen.


Not knowing who has the diamonds, Niko seems not to care about. He says that the landfill they are being taken to is the best place for them. He also says that the population of Liberty City would be higher. Where the diamonds end isn't revealed until the ending of The Ballad of Gay Tony. When Luis meets Tony at the Monoglobe, after [[Departure Time|killing Bulgarin as revenge]], Luis knocks over a homeless man named [[Jerry Kapowitz]]. After Luis helps him up, he continues looking through the trash, and stumbles across the bag of diamonds.
The McReary family, like Ray were also working for the Pegorino's, and they had Niko, who was a friend of the McReary's kidknap Gracie Ancelotti, friend of Tony and Luis in order to force them to exchange the diamonds for Gracie herself. Packie and Niko met with Luis and Tony on Charge Island. Bulgarin however, showed up to capture his diamonds and ordered his men to attack Niko and Packie. Luis and Tony fled with Gracie, but Niko and Packie took down Bulgarin's men and chased the goon holding the diamonds. When Niko and Packie caught up with him, he selfishly dropped them into a waste truck to ensure nobody could have them. Niko and Packie left empty-handed.
 
Jerry Kapowitz; a homeless man would later find the diamonds in a trash bin, and was subsequently allowed to keep them.
