In the words of a song introduced by Carol Channing in the original 1949 Broadway production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”!
Whilst in my youth these words would elicit fantasies of a diamond proposal made on bended knee by the man of my dreams wanting to marry me, they now have me dreaming of an entirely different scenario…. the delivery of my latest order of sintered diamond sculpting tools by a total stranger who only wants my signature.
Yes you guessed it……
Industrial Diamonds are now this girl’s best friend!
