Diamonds capture woman's femininity

FEMININITY IS BACK!

Fashion is ultra-romantic this
year, showcasing short flirty skirts
in poufs, ruffles and tiers, dipping
decolletages and bustier bodices.

in keeping with this year’s femi-
nine feeling, jewelry focuses on a
girl’s best friend: the diamond.
There is no better way to capture
the essence of a woman's feminini-
ty than with fine diamond jewelry.

A recent survey shows that to-
day more women would prefer to
receive a gift of diamond jewelry
than any other type of luxury pro-
duct.

Diamond jewelry is more popu-
lar than ever and, according to
Carolyn Bodie of the Diamond In-
formation Centre, there are three
major trends in diamond jewelry
today:

© Diamonds are being worn day
and nig&t. Increasingly, women are
adding a sparkling touch of femi-
ninity to every outfit they own.
“In particular,”’ reports Bodie,
“the new chic combination is dia-
monds and denim.”

Chris Evert popularized a simple
strand of diamonds worn over the
watch on the left arm, a bracelet
now known as the ‘‘tennis brace-
let”’. Today, diamond jewelry
moves easily from the office tc
evening to weekend.

© Quality of the diamond is the
number-one consideration when
choosing a piece of diamond jew-
elry. Women are becoming more
and more savvy about the quality
and value of their purchases.

Liamonds never go out of style
and are worn season after season,
year after year. Therefore, smart
shoppers look for lasting value in
diamonds and know the cut, color,
clarity and carat-weight. These
four factors determine the beauty
and value of the diamond.

© New diamond jewelry designs
are simple and romantic. Soft,
feminine fashions demand classic
feminine jewelry. Diamond
brooches are rapidly gaining in
popularity; especially hot right

now are brooches in the frankly
romantic shape of a heart.

In rings, women are opting for
the fresh romantic look of all-

Fashionable lingerie
especially designed
for today’s

new mother.
