- Project: De Beers Diamond Collection
- Client: Natural History Museum
When the Natural History Museum opened its “Earth Galleries” Exhibition in 1998, they chose CAI Vision to supply, install and maintain a 'high tech' Electronic Security Security System, including various alarms and close-circuit television for the world famous De Beers Diamond Collection.
The collection of jewels includes a 17-carat diamond the size of a peach stone, worth over £1.5 million, an emerald the size of a lemon the colour of lime juice and rubies and sapphires ranging up to the size of grapes. The total collection is said to be worth many millions of pounds.
Extract taken from Evening Standard Article:
"The Natural History Museum has had to invest in no fewer than seven layers of security, in addition to the normal alarms and patrols. The room through which the public will wander is equipped so that all those entering are automatically recorded on camera, while the gems are protected with beam, pressure and sonic glass-breaking alarms, together with other devices the museum won't divulge."
