This article highlights three extant engraved portrait diamonds from the second half of the nineteenth century, when a revival of this art form took place. The author suggests a re-attribu- tion of the engraver of one of these diamonds (J. J. Dreese rather than M. C. de Vries) and proposes that another one, known as the ‘Queen Frederica diamond’, instead shows the UK’s Queen Victoria.
