Hi, I'm Elise Loonon, co-host of the Goop podcast.

I can't wait for you to hear today's guest, the very wise pre-tagy.

But first, I want to say a quick thank you to the Diamond Producers Association

who are bringing you today's episode.

The jewelry women wear is entirely personal,

and it's often the story behind the diamond-earing, ring, or bracelet

that makes the piece all the more important to us.

For different newsletter stories, the Goop editors have interviewed women

about the first natural diamond they ever bought themselves, or the most special one.

Sometimes these self-gifts were a long time coming,

and others happened seemingly on a whim.

But they all ended up marking a special moment in time to celebrate.

Why are we drawn to natural diamonds in this way?

I think part of it is that they come from the earth,

they're rare and finite, and of course beautiful,

and as someone who leans toward minimalism,

I think it's also because diamonds are one of the few things

that become more valuable to you the more you wear them,

because they're timeless.

Don't hold anything too tightly.

Just wish for it, want it, let it come from the intention of real truth for you,
