Beautiful Works We Can Wear

There's nothing like a great pair of earrings to accessorize an outfit for the office or for play. Montez Diamond--law school student  and jewelry designer--creates the most beautiful pieces of wearable art. I met Montez a while ago while doing work for a government social services agency. She's especially cool people. Read why and send inquiries about purchasing her work at montez_diamond@yahoo.com!


1) What's your academic, professional, and creative background?


I attended Howard University and majored in English. Currently I prepare documents for Bankruptcy litigation by day and I am an interpersonal communication coach by night.


2) What is your inspiration?

My inspiration is my parents. My parents meet each other through a mutual friend as students at Clarke College which is today the Atlanta University Center. They initially had a true disdain for each other which transformed into a loving and compatible relationship. They as an amalgam inspire me because they are constantly conversant about politics, career challenges, social adversities and more. They epitomize the sheer example of friendship and delight in each other's company even when they are being a nuisance to each other. That is true love....which inspires me to have the same depth of connection in my future relationships.

The Bible, Who Moved My Cheese, The Shack, and Midnight
