Get Roughed Up
1For hundreds of years we have referred to “diamonds in the rough”–people or things that would be brilliant and only needed to be cut and polished in order to bring out that shine–without realizing that diamonds in the rough are beautiful, too.
Rough diamond jewelry is in. If you don’t believe me, check out the Bergdorff ad in this month’s Harper’s Bazaar. It shows a ring set with three stones, each a different size and shape, and brownish in color. The stones are murky, with hints of shimmer trapped inside, like the interior of a storm cloud. Their beauty is more subtle than the diamonds we normally see. It’s like comparing a woman who’s been told to speak and act and look a certain way, to a woman with a strange accent and who doesn’t wear makeup. Both are beautiful in her own way.
Personsally, I really adore the warm glow of the rough diamonds. They remind me of candles almost. Visit Bergdorffs or Neiman Marcus to check out this facet (pun intended) of the Back-to-Nature movement.
A plus tard,
Noelle

I saw that ad too and I thought the jewelry looked pretty. But jeez, $65,000 for a necklace? That’s a lot of scratch for something that might go out of style in a couple of years.
