  The Eustace Diamonds: An Introduction
Entailed to her son and heir, she appropriates it as her own, with a view to pawning it or selling it as fast as she can.
Only the energetic, persistent, and resolute efforts of the Eustace family's solicitor stand between her and success.
Totally unscrupulous, she is at the same time casting around to entrap another husband to keep her in the style to which so rapidly she has become accustomed.

  The Eustace Diamonds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eustace Diamonds is a novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1871 as a serial in the Fortnightly Review.
On the one hand, the diamonds are a valuable heirloom to which Lizzie may not have a legal claim, but on the other, they do not want to antagonize the mother of the heir to the family estate (Lizzie having only a life interest).
In the end, the diamonds are lost, the police discover the truth and Lizzie is forced to confess her lies, though she escapes legal retribution since her testimony is needed to convict the criminals.

The central character of this novel is Lizzie Eustace, a brave, beautiful, and completely wicked young woman who steals her own diamond necklace because her inheritance of it is in dispute.
These "blood diamonds" are smuggled out of West Africa and sold to legitimate diamond merchants in London, Antwerp, and New York, often with the complicity of the international diamond industry.
Uncovering the truth about diamonds, "The Heartless Stone" is a journey to the cold heart of the world's most unyielding gem.

She maintains it was a gift from her husband, but the Eustace lawyers insist she give it up, and while her cousin Frank takes her side, her new lover Lord Fawn states that he will only marry her if the necklace is surrendered.
As gossip and scandal intensify, Lizzie's truthfulness is thrown into doubt, and, in her desire to keep the jewels, she is driven to increasingly desperate acts.
The third in Trollope's Palliser series, The Eustace Diamonds bears all the hallmarks of his later works, blending dark cynicism with humour and a keen perception of human nature.

And of course Eustace found it to be what any of us could have told him in advance - treasure.

 Daily Blague: Paraphernalia
The central plot point of the novel is whether, indeed, the eponymous diamonds are paraphernalia, and therefore no-better-than-she-should-be Lizzie Eustace's property to dispose of as she will, or whether they're heirlooms, personal property that must be returned to the family of her late husband, Sir Florian.
Mr Dove is of the opinion that the diamonds are heirlooms, and it is well-known that Trollope secured a genuine opinion on the matter from a genuine barrister, his friend Charles Merewether.
The first time I read The Eustace Diamonds, I was thrilled by the absolute pedantry of Mr Dove's opinion.

Subsequently he wrote a screenplay for Anthony Trollope's THE EUSTACE DIAMONDS, which caught the eye of producer Bob Balaban, who was looking for a British society insider to write a screenplay for a murder mystery.
One senior aristocrat was reported as having said, "The problem with SNOBS is you can't fault it." An old pal telephoned with the greeting, "It's a wonder to me you have any friends left!" However, all in all, I would say more of them were amused to find their world in print than were offended.
It certainly should be, as Lizzie Eustace is a character for the ages.

 Fictionwise eBooks: The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope
Now a marriage with Sir Florian Eustace would be very splendid, and therefore she was unable to go into the matter of the jewels with that rigour which in other circumstances she would certainly have displayed.
Discussing this matter with his brother, who was perhaps his only intimate friend, he declared that if the girl he loved would give herself to him, he would make what atonement he could to her for his own early death by a princely settlement.
Sir Florian was not indeed a clever man; but he believed himself to be a fool, and believing himself to be a fool, he desired, nay, painfully longed, for some of those results of cleverness which might, he thought, come to him from contact with a clever woman.

Lord George had gone abroad until the scandal of the Eustace diamonds died down, Lady Eustace herself was now married again, very unhappily so it seemed, and Lucinda’s aunt, Mrs Carbuncle, was in London for a few weeks, which would no doubt lengthen into the entire season.

The irony of The Eustace Diamonds is that the diamonds are, for all practical purposes, useless.
The gentleman, as Trollope understands him, is a modification of the chivalrous, medieval knight and should be as pure, strong, and "true" as a diamond.
With the two vile Jews in The Eustace Diamonds, a defense against the charge of anti-semitism in benefit of Trollope seems hard-pressed for validity.

Anthony Trollope's celebrated Parliamentary novels, of which The Eustace Diamonds (1873) is the third and most famous, are at once unfailingly amusing social comedies, melodramas of greed and deception, and precise nature studies of the political animal in its mid-Victorian habitat.
With its purloined jewels, its conniving, resilient, mercenary heroine, and its partiality for the human spectacle in all its complexity, The Eustace Diamonds is a splendid example of Trollope's art at its most assured.
He has also written a book on George Eliot's Midlands and a critical study of Barchester Towers.

(1864), Phineas Finn (1869), The Eustace Diamonds (1873), Phineas Redux (1874), The Prime Minister (1876) and The Duke's Children (1880).
