Diamonds are Forever

When we say a dog is a man’s best-friend, it is figuratively speaking. Both men and women love dogs equally. At least some do. When we say, diamonds are a woman’s best-friend, it is what it is, a woman’s best-friend. You won’t find a man fighting over a diamond with a woman, only the other woman would do that.

Diamonds have been traditionally known as an indicator of how wealthy your fiancé is. The bigger the rock, the richer your husband-to-be is. I think it still holds true until today and frankly, I don’t foresee that ever changing.

Once, my husband and I had dinner with his friend who was back from the United States. His friend came back for a holiday to spend sometime with her family before her big wedding day. She arrived at the restaurant first. The first thing I noticed was the huge rock on her finger. It was HUGE and sparkled from a mile. Alright, I exaggerated slightly, it sparkled as we head towards the table where she was seated. I too had my diamond on but compared to hers, mine was (still is) a diamond speck.

Personally, it’s nice to have but if you ask me whether it looked nice, I have my reservations. Its too huge and aesthetically, it wasn’t exactly an image enhancer. For me, I would have much preferred a uniquely designed ring for my wedding jewellery collection. I’ll give you a sneak peek as to what I would’ve picked out if I had a choice.



If you found that a looker, there are more from where that came from at Astley Clarke, an online designer jewellery boutique where you can find a whole range of designer jewellery at your finger tips.
