These ain’t conflict diamonds…
Send to a friend:
is they Jacob? Don’t lie to me man!! Kanye definitely had the right to ask Jacob the Jeweler that question in his song Diamonds are Forever. Pick up the album.
I interviewed a great designer tonight, it’ll be up in Papierdoll’s December issue…(already jumping ahead and November isn’t even up yet) One of her pet peeves? Bling. I couldn’t agree more. The hip-hopification of fashion has made the gaudiest god-awful jewelry a must have (see Paris Hilton). Those are not her words, they’re mine. Jewelry has always been something you do to accentuate something else. It’s an accessory, it is not the centerpiece -and even when it is the “intentional” centerpiece you wear it as part of an ensemble.
So ladies, this Christmas when you are heading to that office party…put the big diamond ring and the heavy rope chain away….
Please.
