Why You Need Diamonds In Your Life. Really.

We explore how this awe-inspiring precious gemstone has become a staple jewellery accessory for modern styling with timeless appeal.

As a symbol of love, endurance and prosperity, diamonds have remained a prominent subject in popular culture. Offering poetic licence to artists and songwriters, its namesake has featured in the memorable lyrics of famous songs by The Beatles, Beyoncé and Rihanna.

Traditionally reserved for special occasions, diamonds were once considered too ostentatious for anything other than an engagement, 60th anniversary or black-tie event. Yet times have changed and this lustrous precious gemstone has become ever more contemporary, wearable and affordable.

Women are now buying their own fine jewellery to wear every day and diamonds are the perfect partner for a modern fashion wardrobe. Alluring and sentimental, diamonds are not just to be coveted, but to be worn.
