I’ve loved the Mont Blanc diamond ever since it came into existence. Not because I’m a Mont Blanc fan (which i’m not), nor because it’s expensive (which it is), but because someone somewhere ingeniously managed to cut a diamond into the shape of the Mont Blanc flower. It’s terribly clever.

It’s a pity though. Mont Blanc has never come up with a line of jewellery, featuring this diamond, that I’ve actually liked. The diamond always looks like an after-thought, either too tiny, or sticking out like a sore thumb. Nothing that makes me go, “Ooo, I gotta have that!”

So for now, I’m just gonna admire this flower shaped diamond by itself. And call it a “ya ya”, the way my niece says “flower”.
