Hey rock stars! I'm back for April with another entry on our favorite subject: gemstones! Most of us love to collect our own birthstone but we all claim a stake in April's gem, the diamond. Even through the history of diamonds goes back to the ancient people, it wasn't until the 16th century that daimonds began to compete with pearls as the gem of choice amongst royalty. In India, diamonds were believed to have magical powers and were not cut and faceted. When diamonds became popular in Europe, the art of cutting diamonds began, first in Venice and later in Paris. You may be like me, before QVC came into my life I had never even dreamed about buying myself diamond jewelry. But, the Affinity diamond line changed all that and I love the variety we carry from affordable pieces to the real diamond rock stars! We have a tradition in our family, started by my Mother, that on the 21st birthday you received diamond earrings. QVC has helped us continue this tradition. I think, who needs to wait for a birthday or a special occasion? Treat yourself to diamonds!
