King of bling

For a mere $20,000 to $25,000, you will get around 12 carats of diamonds. “Any type of necklace, all diamonds, that normally has a drop to it, it is dresser,” said Darryl Boone, president of Boone & Sons Jewelers. “Could you wear this to dinner? Sure. To a formal function? Sure. But during the day? I doubt it.”
