The Edit: Diamond Month

Words by: Michelle Orman

T
o designate any specific month as “diamond” month seems almost tongue in cheek. I mean, what month isn’t a perfect month for diamonds? But hey, if we can acknowledge “Happy Hour Day” (November 12) “National Vinyl Day” (April 22) or “Dog Appreciation Day” (August 26) why not give some extra love to something that can spark so much joy? Happy Diamond Month!

Asking COUTURE designers and brands to send us their most creative embrace of, simply, diamonds, was casting a very wide net, indeed. COUTURE’s distinctive curation of talent ensured we’d see a vast array of spectacular designs. And while we saw some trends emerge, as per usual, COUTURE designers and brands refuse to be typecast. Whatever the category identified here, it’s evident that this community of creatives doesn’t embody trends or themes, it defines them.

From Edgy Essentials to Engagement, from Important Jewels to those that showcase a global point-of-view, COUTURE’s designers and brands continually prove that they are responsible for establishing the visual representation of esoteric concepts. And diamonds’ ability to shine in combination with other gemstones or pearls, to bring to life creatures and pets, and to prove that romance isn’t reserved solely for the affianced comes in for the win in giving voice to these singular expressions of unique creativity.
