A Literal Diamond in the Rough

            It's nearly 2013, and everyone's environmental awareness is peaking. There are desingers who have combined thier love for fashion with creative talents and created a whole new genre of jewelry. Earth is the echoed inspiration for each hand-crafted piece.  I see many diamonds daily but this marries classic modern design with natural, organic elements. Many of these "natural or rough" pieces I find stunning.
          The jewelry still has the fine art and design of traditionally cut stones but also link traditionals jewelry methods with a modern aesthetic, using fine recycled metals, and conflict-free gemstones and diamonds in each piece.These deisgners are takings risks with thier designs, but take pride in the continual growth and development of the way our generation views diamonds. Personally. I love it! You??
