19. A Diamond Beats A Pair Of Hearts
Right-hand rings are the new assertion of female freedom. As soon as journalists start writing about adverting campaigns, you know the ads are working. In the United States right now, you can hardly open a magazine without reading about the latest trend in jewellery the right-hand diamond ring.
According to these news items, economically independent women, like the ones seen on Sex and City1 , are no longer waiting for a man to buy them a rock for the ring finger of their left hand. Married or not, they are buying their own diamonds, and wearing them on the right hand as a symbol of their independence. Sales of rings are indeed up, but not for all of this should be traced to a new wave in feminist thinking.
In fact, the trend can be traced to September 2003 , when the giant De Beers2 diamond company launched a massive advertising campaign across the US called Women of the World, Raise Your Right Hand . According to the ads, which appear in top-end magazines such as Vogue , wearing a diamond on the right hand means you are independentand free .
Obviously, the idea is to get well-paid women to buy their own diamonds, something they traditionally do not do. But in recent months Sarah Jessica Parker3 , from Sex and the City, has been spotted with monster-sized right-hand ring, as has newly separated Halle Berry.
