Breakfast with Big Bling
The Smithsonian is having a big diamond show right now, and they have a couple of incredible pieces on display. I’ve always fought against the “fancy yellow” rage, but I guess I had never seen THIS:

So, we can obviously lose the bird, but WOW. This is 128 carats, with 82 facets. It has only been worn in public twice. Once was by a Rhode Island socialite whose name nobody seems to remember. And the other time (without the bird — it’s buried in the brooch):
And now, announcing my first Diamond Diva CONTEST!
The first person to post the name of this Diamond Diva will receive a coupon for $25 off their next purchase of $200 or more at Diamond Harmony! (They hook me up sometimes.)
CONTEST ENDS ON April 30.
