The thing was that her whole life she had lived by the sea, pulling up the lobster traps with her father with her rough, calloused hands. Hair cut short to be practical. Sensible sneakers. Working alongside her brothers. It wasn't until she was 17 that she realized she wanted to be some whole other kind of girl, the kind of girl who wore silk pajamas and who, when she laughed, leaned forward and placed her hand on someone's arm for emphasis in just the right way. Oh, to be that kind of girl. The kind of girl who looked pensively out the window with her chin cradled in her palm and said, "Ah me," the way Olivia Hussey said it in the balcony scene of the 1968 film of Romeo and Juliet, which she had recently seen in her English class. That kind of girl.
Here's the thing today. Brilliant Earth's Riata Diamond Pendant, $990. Four bezel-set diamonds are effortlessly suspended along a lustrous chain in this sleek 14k gold lariat-style necklace. Brilliant Earth is a jewelry company devoted to transparant, ethical, sustainable, and inclusive business practices.
