“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” – A quote often used to describe a woman’s desire. Quite true, every woman wants to wear the most expensive jewelry and the diamond is the king of all jewels. But, no one on this earth is satisfied with whatever they have. They keep craving for more and more.
Oh yes, a woman wants everything which make them look perfect. Every lady was once asked this question in her lifetime “Are you not well today?” She smiled back and answered “No, I am fine just not wearing my kohl today.”
Ladies want to dress the best, look the best, even in the simplest possible way. Even if they don’t have diamonds in their collection, they don’t get disheartened. There is always a substitute in a woman’s life.
