Black Diamonds Are the Stones

Hen Marilyn Monroe performed “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes way back in 1953, it sure as hell wasn’t black diamonds she was singing about. Indeed, it’s white diamonds’ ostentatious ubiquity that gives black ones their personal appeal. A ring, a necklace, or even an office-ready watch pavéd in the black stones is a surefire, if subtle, way to stand out. As a bonus, they’ll look great with fall’s biker jackets.
