The Potential of Loose Diamonds

Loose diamonds are like paint in tubes awaiting to be mixed, brushed, and smeared across a blank canvas. The possibilities are endless for the paint as they are for the diamonds. Who knows what they will become. What picture will they paint? What meaning will be hidden in the resultant creation?

Will they represent love or lust in the rings they are crafted into? Will they mean the world to the one they're given to, or be forgotten as they languish away in someone's jewelry box? Might they be a reminder of a lost love or rekindle the fiery passion of an old and tired love? Will they mark a new union or celebrate a decades old one?

Only the loose diamonds will know once they are given a home and witness the love and joy of a wedding. Or the all too often divorce of an old love. Maybe they'll see the love of generations over centuries as it winds itself down the branch of a family tree as an heirloom. There are an in-numerous amount of possibilities that these precious little gems have to become. Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings are all possible canvases for the diamonds. They only wait for a skilled artisan to apply them and become a creation that is more than the sum of its parts.
