First Lady Michelle Obama clearly chose diamonds to help her sparkle at the events celebrating the inauguration of her husband Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the United States.
The Diamond Information Center (DIC) disclosed that at the inaugural balls on Tuesday night, Ms. Obama wore Loree Rodkin diamond linear earrings, a diamond ring and diamond bangle bracelets.
DIC Director Sally Morrison said: "By choosing to wear a pair of classic diamond linear earrings and diamond bangle bracelets, Michelle Obama has defined her own take on a timeless and enduring diamond look in a way that is destined to become iconic in fashion history.”
She added: "This look is absolutely her own, simultaneously modern in a way that will be emulated by women around the world today, but so timeless that it may very well one day be worn by her own daughters."
Ms. Obama also went for simple diamond-stud earrings for her husband's swearing-in ceremony and wore round diamond-stud earrings surrounded by pave diamonds on the train ride to the inaugural celebrations.
