Of Grit And Glory, And The Women Who Can.
The modern woman isn’t afraid to go after her goals, and achieve all that she desires. And a female athlete is an indisputable testament to that resilience and grace. Just like the natural diamond jewellery she chooses to wear.
In a world spinning on an even gender-keel more than ever, women continue to shatter glass ceilings, break barriers and push the limits, in every aspect. From acing boardroom meetings to mastering PTAs, clinching the most prestigious deals at work to throwing the best parties at home, leading teams to nurturing family—there’s nothing they can’t do.
And female athletes are the perfect example of that. Excelling on the playfield just as awe-inspiringly as holding the fort at home, a sportswoman masterfully maintains the equilibrium between her goals and her passions. Her journey is a story about finding balance as she navigates professional and personal feats. It is a masterclass in juggling the intense physical and mental demands of an elite sport, with the multitude of responsibilities at home. And yet acing all the myriad roles she ‘plays’.
With her natural diamonds shining bright, the modern woman knows she deserves to dazzle unapologetically, both literally and figuratively.
Amidst all this, the one armour that these wonder women can invariably be seen carrying—as an expression of their fierce, invincible selves—is jewellery. Natural diamond jewellery isn’t just a fashion accessory for these exemplary women. It is much more than that. It is a celebration of their careers, as well as of their lives. It is a reflection of a sportswoman’s multi-hyphen existence—and of all her struggles and triumphs—where each piece she picks is an homage to her individuality, empowering her and fuelling her game in equal measure.
Take Serena Williams. In 2017, Serena won her 7th Australian Open title, and with this, she officially became the best tennis player of contemporary times, completing a whopping 23 Grand Slams. This was the most by any playing athlete at the time. What was more remarkable, was that Serena was pregnant during that tournament—carrying her first child while inching towards unprecedented professional glory!
Her grit, resilience, and dedication have always been admirable. Just like the baubles the star has been spotted in while winning those coveted titles. Whether it was her making a statement with a glistening herringbone necklace and gold hoops during her first ever US Open win, when she was all of 17 years, or a more recent (and bolder) reaffirmation of her supremacy at 39, layering a chain link neckpiece with a natural diamond-encrusted ‘Queen’ pendant—a literal ode to her unrivalled reign—Serena loves to use jewels to display her style, fire her passion, and turn heads, almost as much as her game.
In fact, for many female athletes, wearing jewellery is also a form of self-assertion, that showcases their creativity and personal style—and even fuels their game. It can be a powerful tool that helps them feel empowered, confident, and in control. Throughout her career, Sania Mirza—former tennis doubles world No 1—made memorable appearances—and won heroic matches—in striking jewellery. Boldly stacked ears, delightfully sprinkled with diamond studs and hoops, to layered necklaces, and more.
She isn’t the only one to have used jewellery to channel her fun, feminine side, while making us all stand up and take notice of her fearless sport skills. Just last year, at the Paris Olympics, Simon Biles—the most decorated gymnast in history—flashed a glittery goat pendant after winning her second gold medal. It was a custom, handcrafted piece, embedded with 546 natural diamonds—an apt nod to her G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) status in the field.
That’s them adjusting their crown (and looking uber glam, because why not!), while running the world. More importantly, it is them making a statement—that a woman can be ethereal and indestructible, tender and tough, all at once. Which is why, the pieces they wear aren’t just casually thrown on—they are, often, mindfully selected works of art, that symbolise this beautiful duality.
Badminton ace, PV Sindhu, has often taken to the court in gleaming diamonds, too. When she’s mulling over “mid-game thoughts”, while crisply adorned in studs and jackets and a matching necklace; and even when she’s winning brilliant rallies wearing delicate-but-unmissable pendants, bracelets, earrings et al.
Female athletes are the perfect example that there is nothing a woman can’t achieve—and every wonder woman needs real diamonds as special as her to celebrate the magic she weaves!
Just like the real diamonds she wears, the modern woman is enduring and magnificent—and has incredible clarity of purpose. And with those jewels, she is showing you that her strength isn’t only defined by her physical prowess, but also by her individuality—by the choices she makes, and the change she ushers. It is her taking pride in who she is, and self-assuredly letting all of herself—with all the scars and all the trophies—shine her brightest!
