Diamonds Are Forever

I've never been much of a jewelry fan. 

I wear an old Timex of my mother's whose leather band has now softened with age. My wedding ring has three plain bands; one for love, one for family, and one for friendship. And I have one pair of earrings, each with a singular pearl surrounded by a small circle of diamonds. 

My parents gave me those earrings many years ago now. It was such an extravagant gesture I still get teary recalling the moment. 

Diamonds symbolize love so expansive, there are no words.....

"It's not that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but it's your best friends who are your diamonds. It's your best friends who are supremely resilient, made under pressure, and of astonishing value." – Gina Barreca
