With the simple tagline, ‘A diamond is forever,’ the diamond company DeBeers made millions of women across the world covet the glittering stones like never before. Then came the blond bombshell, Marilyn Monroe, who crooned, ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,’ in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. And that was that. Diamonds truly became a girl’s best friend, and men had to select a diamond engagement ring if they wanted to make their girlfriends their brides.

And it’s not just diamonds, but jewelry in general that women crave and covet the world over. Whatever corner of the world a woman might be from, her one true love will always be jewelry. It doesn’t matter if it’s gold, white gold, rose gold, diamond, platinum, or even silver for that matter, a woman will NEVER say she’s had enough jewelry! And that’s a fact!

So to celebrate our love for jewelry and all things shiny and sparkly, read diamonds, we thought to present you with a few quotes on jewelry and diamonds by a few famous people over the years. So let’s get to it, shall we:
