A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
You only need to close your eyes to hear Marilyn Monroe’s inimitable voice in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. We all lose our charms in the end, she sings. But diamonds never change.
It’s hard to tell whether Marilyn’s legendary vocals or the cheeky lyrics, but there’s something iconic about the jazz song.
Diamonds never go out of fashion. But there’s more than one way to surround yourself with their glamorous shine.
In the jewelry box
You may not have the same diamond jewelry as Monroe in the movie – she receives a diamond tiara as a thank-you gift –, but you can still find ways of getting some lovely diamond pieces in your jewelry box. A diamond engagement ring from Stone Diamonds Rings is a popular gift in a relationship. But there are more unique options to wear the stones, such as on earrings or as an elegant pendant. Diamond brooches are less common, but they bring a superb touch of glitz to a cocktail dress. If you prefer something more subtle, make sure to have a look at luxury watches, as some have delicate precious patterns.
Some shine to your home interior
It can seem silly to add diamonds to your interior design. The truth is that you won’t be adding precious stones, but recreating a similar effect. Diamonds are shiny by definition. So, you can add a playful twist to reflect natural light inside your home. Some carefully pulled curtains can work with reflective surfaces to create a glitzy pattern inside the living room.
You can also introduce a mirror to your hallway. Some mirror designs also come with a diamond-like frame that is cut to create a shimmery reflection.
Pack some excitement in the kitchen
Can you eat diamonds? Some luxury restaurants are not afraid to make diamonds part of their menus, such as a diamond-encrusted fruitcake that is worth over $1.72 million at the Takashimaya Department Store in Tokyo. It’s not the only dessert you’ll find around the world that contains precious stones. But, ultimately, diamonds are not for consumption. Instead, you could consider a yummy recipe for a diamond-shaped cake. It’s the kind of gem you can enjoy without breaking the bank. You can add a mirror glaze to surround the cake with a delicious shine. A delicious diamond to share with your darling, what’s not to like?
Sequin fashion for the bold
Sequins are back into our wardrobes! From sequined dresses to shiny, and glittery tops, there are so many ways to make your outfit pop. Contrary to common belief, you can shine like a diamond without worrying about being overdressed. Pair your sequin top with denim pants and combat boots for a down-to-earth style. Sequin dresses or skirts work best with a warm woolly jumper and a pair of black tights. It’s shimmery enough to be playful and toned-down enough to become everyday wear. But, one thing is for sure, it’ll make you feel like a princess!
If you are feeling the winter slump, it’s time to bring some shine to your day-to-day life. Surround yourself with some tasteful items, from wearing your favorite pair of diamond earrings to adding new elements to your interior decor. We’re already picturing strutting down the hallway while breathily singing “boo boo bee doo” in your best Marilyn’s voice.
