13 women buy a $37,000 diamond necklace

by Cheryl Jarvis. New York : Ballantine Books, 2008.

BookPage reviews: Overall, though, this is a feel-good and thought-provoking book that will challenge your assumptions about the value of luxury goods.

Kirkus: Why would diamonds, of all things, inspire this unusual openness? Does modern life have so few vehicles for sisterhood that shopping is the one thing we have left? Jarvis avoids wrestling with such ideas, preferring to fawn and overstate.As frivolous as its centerpiece.
