Sentimental Diva Accessories: Why a Diamond is Forever
Every lady has a jewelry box. Even the poorest waif will have a little box of her beautiful baubles. It’s a woman’s tiny but significant pleasure to touch, wear and see her treasures every once in a while. My grandmother, the original diva blogger (though she ‘blogged’ through us), gave me some of hers. I asked her how she could part with her jewels, and why she was giving them to me then.
She told me that a piece of jewelry is a gift from people who value a lady’s smile enough to give it. It is a remembrance of a special event or a significant time in her life. By passing the heirlooms to her grandchildren, she ensured that those memories will live on, even when she’s gone. Wordlessly, I accepted her gifts, together with a prayer that she will live long enough to see me pass them on to my offspring. When she died, the heirlooms that she gave me became more valuable as I consider them full of her memories of her mother, and now, full of my memories of her as well.
Passing by a jewelry site is always exciting, but a wee bit nostalgic for me. For all I know, someone might be buying these beautifully intricate diamond stud earrings at this very moment, with an image in his mind of the diva he will give it to. Will she realize just how lovingly he chose those for her among all the carefully showcased beauties?
Some of the diamonds showcased in this site are small enough for younger goddesses to wear. I remember going to a clinic and smiling at the yelling baby girls having their first piercing. Bless you, little diva, was all I can say in my mind. It’s like a diva christening of sorts, a small step to the young one’s womanhood.
I particularly marvel at the December birthstone, blue topaz. Set in white gold, these blue topaz jewelry so aptly reflect the world’s condition during the birth month of the winter-born. Like a clear blue, frozen lake set in winter’s quiet chill.
Here’s a sliver of luck for those in the US who will visit the site. MyJewelryBox.com is raffling off a diamond flower pendant. Lots of diva-kissed luck to you!
