Even though they’d look really good

Fine jewelry, with all of its miraculous qualities, does come with a few rules. Don’t wear it while working out. Don’t garden in it. Wait until after you’ve sprayed your perfume and hairspray before donning it (for pearls). And, of course, don’t, under any circumstances, wear it to the beach. Because as it turns out, metal detectors won’t find everything, and if you lose a piece in the ocean, you can kiss it good-bye. But do people listen? Not always. If it’s a piece of fashion jewelry that looks really, really good with that bikini, I think we can all relax. But jewels like these? You’d have to be insane. But it happens. Just as I’ve seen women wear six-inch heels at Walt Disney World, I’ve seen massive jewels on the beach. Whether they were of any value remains to be determined, but you just never know. So, though your customers may be excited to wear these everywhere (even to bed), guide them in the right direction when it comes to their summer vacations. Do lather on the sunblock, don’t pile on the diamonds. Though, just look at these: The thought is tempting, no?
