I wonder if I was a magpie in my past life. Sitting here entranced by the shiny silver and diamonds on the Tiffany & Co website. Everything is so beautiful. If only everything could retain it's lustre and brilliance for always.
What is it about jewellery I wonder. The need to adorn ourselves with beautiful or unusual objects. Is it like the way that peacocks spread their feathers? In a ritual to attract mating partners? Or perhaps an attempt to boost our self-confidence? Diamonds are beautiful forever, not fragile and ephemeral like human beauty. I wonder if one day when I am old and wrinkled I will still crave those diamonds. When they will just be a reminder of my faded youth.
I wonder.
