Diamonds.. When love is lost, turn to your true friends…

F. Scott Fitzgerald conveys to his readers the realities of 1920’s American society. To help the audience understand this era better, Fitzgerald weaves his narrative through the vibrant streets of New York, telling us all of a time of lust, wealth and class.

But what do we really learn from this classic? While Daisy Buchanan’s love irrationally flows from her husband Tom, to her lover Jay, only one thing remains by her side the entire time… diamonds.

Featuring in last weeks blog, (‘The Great Gatsby’ Tiffany collection.. a timeless homage to an extravagant era… (17/5/13)) ‘The Great Gatsby’ Tiffany + Co collection is the buzz of the fashion world.
