D is for

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

And this girl has two favorite diamond sources--

This place


and this street


More then 2,500 diamond and jewelry merchants on one city block! So much bling!

In addition, sellers stand on the sidewalk and aggressively try to lure customers in. "Buy gold. Buy diamond."

The glitter and the hard-sell=overwhelming!

But, lucky me, has a friend who loves to shop and she has a "diamond guy," a "gold guy," and a "pearl guy" in the Diamond District. I just have to whisper to her, "Gee, I'm thinking I'd like to look for. . . " and off we go.

Square cut or pear-shaped, those rocks don't lose their shape! Can't say the same for me!

Still loving this A-B-C along. Good one.

Definitely a difficult decision: which diamond is better?

A very long time ago,we went to the diamond district to buy my engagement ring. It was such an adventure.

I want to do that some day. My grandparents opened a jewelry store 82 years ago and it's still in business!

But I'm with you, hard to say which diamond is better!
