Diamonds

Swarovski ‘Moon’ USB necklace

Dont get me wrong, I luv diamonds, come on… i’m a girl… but would you really wear this round your neck? What’s all that about or am i being too harsh?!  Probably quite a fun pressie though and it is a bit different.

It’s 2GB worth so not a bad amount of storage and is made by Swarovski Crystal so a bit of affordable bling if it takes your fancy, they also make two other designs along with this “moon” necklace,  one of the others is called ”naughty raymond” ?!

It retails at around £125 which is a lot for a memory stick blingey combo, just not sure this is my idea of geekchic.

Hand tailoured luxury mobiles

Platinum blackberry ? Diamond encrusted mobile? Perhaps you have more money than sense and are a  teensy bit bored with your sad looking mobile.  If so, why not have a bit of “hand tailoured” luxury on your phone or iPod.

Continentalmobiles.com customises each piece using a choice of 24 karat gold plating, 18 karat rose gold plating or white platinum plating. You can even get diamonds on there too if you’re feeling particularly bling.

It seems like a nice idea, just not sure how practical it would be. Be warned tho’, a platinum diamond encrusted LG Prada phone will set you back a measely £1299. Ouch!

Camera Charm by Tiffany

I’m just loving this geeky chic camera charm bracelet from Tiffany - although personally I would prefer it in silver (better still platinum) as this kind of gold is just not my thang.

Its 18 carat and the best bit is the little diamond for the lens that actually rotates! It is however pretty pricey - $1500 for the charm alone and another $1500 for the bracelet !!

Still its cute looking but not sure it would be my first charm of choice…

Diamonds vs Gadgets

According to a survey conducted by Oxygen Network, 3 out of 4 women would choose a sexy high end tv or a top of the range mobile phone over a pair of Jimmy Choos or a diamond necklace - can this really be true,?! Well apparently so but it makes me wonder, is it a case of either / or as im sure most women would like both - I know I would ! or is that just me me me

Being a girl geek and believe me I love all things gadgety and furthermore beat a lot of my male frirends on the gadget front I’m not sure if I would actually prefer an all singing all dancing ipod from my beloved instead of a nice shiny diamond necklace in a red and gold box.

It’s definitely true that women are embracing technology and the gender gap is rapidly disappearing in this area - “here here” - and whats more advertisers’ are coming round to the fact that they should not talk down to women when selling tech as we are now valid consumers, but why does an increased interest in technology mean that we like flowers and chocolates less, i’m not sure it does, tech rules but when all is said and done, diamonds are a girls best friend….
