Diamonds Suck

I am loathe to admit that I missed a very important jewelry item for my Jewelry Gift Guide for New Moms a while back. What new bundle of joy should do without a $17,000 diamond drool-maker, right?

IDEX reports that the Hollywood set is going goo-goo for this gem-encrusted mouthpiece from Personalized Pacifiers - a 14-carat European white gold creation set with 278 white diamonds (3 carats all told).

“Pacifiers can be customized with colored diamonds and engraved with baby's name, initials, birth date, or birth weight, the company proclaims. “Though we do not recommend actual use, the Diamond pacifier makes a fabulous keepsake and will become a new classic to that of bronzing baby shoes!”
