I’m searching for the title/author/copies of a multi-volume series about a Jewish family in the jewelry business in Eastern Europe – though I vaguely recall that the series might have started with a middle eastern trader – maybe. The series ended with WWII – I think. Maybe in Vienna? I feel like I read these in the 1980s – in paperback. So they were probably published earlier than that. I liked the series so much – but now I can’t remember anything more about them.

New format, same book stumper solving.
The Books of Rachel. It is about a Jewish family who, once every generation has a grill named Rachel who inherits the family diamond. Modern day Rachel is given the diamond on her wedding day and faints, having a vision of all the Rachels before her, beginning with the Spanish Inquisition. There was a prequel called The Lives Of Rachel.
These sound interesting but they are not the book saga I am trying to find. But thank you for responding!
