Description:
You may wish to be a famous socialite. You may wish to have fame and fortune. But is that really what you will wish for at the end?
In PAK SIU-YAU (Louise Lee See Kei)'s eyes, her three daughters are just as perfect as diamonds. She believes that the greatest blessing for a woman is to marry a wealthy man. To guarantee a better life for her daughters, she has started training the girls since they were young, hoping that they will marry into the richest families when they mature.
YAU's first daughter HONG NGA-YIN (Maggie Shiu) does not agree with her on her values. Yet when she sees that the man YIN is going out with is KO CHEUNG-SING (Bowie Lam), who is very well-off, she decides to let YIN go with her choice. YAU's second daughter HONG NGA-TUNG (Gigi Lai) is hopelessly romantic but does not seem to have much luck with men. To make it up to her, YAU seeks to match her up with HO CHIT-NAM (Moses Chan), the son of Hong Kong's most powerful business tycoon HO FUNG (Ngok Wah). Being the youngest in the family, HONG NGA-SZ (Ada Choi) is well aware of YAU's concerns. Having recovered from divorce, SZ now decides to pin all her hopes on FUNG.
YAU's persistence pays off and her daughters have all found a wealthy husband. But money does not really bring them happiness and the sisters are gradually losing themselves in vanity.

人世間真善美恆久長存,奈何利慾薰心讓人把她遺忘,致使她如同鑽石般矜貴難得。以珠寶世界、上流社會為舞台,以鑽石比喻人生,琢磨出康氏三姊妹的非一般的人生…… 

鑽石之家 融入上流 
三位個性不同的親生姊妹-康雅言、康雅瞳、康雅思,在愛情、婚姻路途上汲取了經驗及教訓後,目標一致地視「嫁個有錢人」為人生最大方向。她們仰視富豪的世界,對心儀的鑽石王老五,除了希望他們流著「貴族」的血,亦同時希望他們擁有製造財富的智慧。而故事中的幾位男主角,除了兼備以上條件之外,還懂得享受生活,會揚帆出海、逐浪賽艇、品嚐高級紅酒、極品雪茄及珍饈百味,會在拍賣行競投鑽石珍品贈送佳人。名車名牌,統統圍繞著他們的生活,直教這三姊妹傾情愛慕。 
三姊妹的父親康青楊,掌管在珠海的其麗鑽石打磨公司,同時兼顧到南非及歐美等地採購鑽石的工作。因對鑑別鑽石的能力具有獨到眼光,青楊備受業界推崇,而在耳濡目染之下,三姊妹自小看慣漂亮迷人的鑽石,培養出別家女兒沒有的、對優質東西的鑑賞能力,以及一份高雅的氣質。 
她們的母親白筱柔更視女兒為三顆完美無暇的美鑽,對三人期望甚高,尤其希望她們「嫁得好」,得到幸福的人生。可是,筱柔對「幸福婚姻」的定義,只著眼於金錢財富之上,認為女兒擇偶對象應非富則貴、有權有勢,故一直積極將三個女兒捧進富豪世界、上流社會。然而,青楊作為三個女兒的父親,卻持著與妻子相反的見解,希望女兒們以忠誠的心去尋找她們的愛情與婚姻,可惜卻事與願違。 

商界才俊 鼎足而立 
孫懷德年青時與兩位好朋友一起合資開創鑽石公司,不久其中一名好友陳國榮退資離場,剩下懷德與另一伙伴繼續經營。及至伙伴英年早逝,懷德仗義照顧遺孤,如親生兒子般栽培。面對競爭對手如賀峰、宋世萬這些重利忘義的富豪商家們,懷德仍然能夠堅守信念,毫不遜色地做出成績來。陳發曾經認為懷德曾在生意合作上向他已故的父親國榮做出欺詐分薄利益的行為,因而令發要為亡父向懷德家族循法律途徑追討賠償,結果與懷德引發起連串的衝突。雖然最後發官司事敗,但懷德仍能以德報怨地待之。及後發重新做人,並幫助適時遇上重大困難的懷德的鑽石公司,以回饋懷德的大恩之德。期後,發與賀哲男、高長勝這兩位年青才俊,在商界有著鼎足而立之勢。 
哲男乃香港首富賀峰之子,秉承賀峰營商的智慧,同時開創新的創業經商理念,雖然與父親因理念之不同而起衝突,甚至受到父親的打壓,但哲男依然能夠從磨練中成長進步,讓理念更趨成熟,及後更與長勝、發一起將理念打造實踐,得到破舊立新,繼往開來的成功。而長勝這個最初追逐各頂級富豪尾後,伺機覓食的暴發戶,得到精明下屬雅言的扶助後,鼓揚野心志氣,再上一層樓、終與一干人等鼎足而立,但名利豐收,卻又失去紅顏知己…… 

愛與忠誠 幸福定義 
因著師父青楊退休而成為懷德之鑽石打磨廠的廠長的石泰禾,深信鑽石象徵愛與忠誠,並將這份理念,於自己對雅思的愛中實踐。可是雅思的眼裡沒有泰禾,她相信的是母親筱柔那一套「富貴=幸福」的理念,她與她的兩位姐姐皆沿著這套理念去追求他們的「幸福」。雅思更成就了當中最為爭議的一段婚姻關係。雅言、雅曈、雅思與哲男、長勝、發、賀峰等城中的鑽石王老五相識、相愛、相分再相聚,甚至捲進商戰世界之中,男女主角一起經歷大起大跌、成功與失敗,印證人生與鑽石一樣,尊貴不在於名、利、權,而在於真摰與忠誠,這樣才會得到永恆的幸福。
