Ex-Liberian President Charles Taylor gave Naomi Campbell
diamonds after a 1997 dinner in South Africa, the supermodel's former agent Carole White has told Mr Taylor's war-crimes trial.
She said Mr Taylor and Ms Campbell had been "mildly flirting" during the meal.
In her testimony, Ms Campbell said she had received some "dirty stones", but she did not know who had sent them.
Prosecutors say Mr Taylor armed rebels fighting a decade-long civil war in Sierra Leone, in return for diamonds.
Mr Taylor denies 11 charges at the Special Court for Sierra Leone, sitting in The Hague, and he has denied having anything to do with the trade in so-called blood diamonds.
Ms White said Mr Taylor had told the supermodel during the dinner that he would send some men to give her diamonds.
"We were sitting around this lounge area at about 10 o'clock at night and we were waiting for these men to arrive," she said.
