After years of wear, the diamond facing the viewer fell out and was lost. This is a picture after we replaced and re-set a new diamond. It looks brand new again. I can repair all your jewelry. -Diamond Mike.

Metaphors can be powerful in figurative writing. The students who composed the following metaphors have each received a quarter-carat diamond to give to their moms since we began the Why Mom Deserves a Diamond writing contest in 1993. So far, 80 kids have received this grand prize gem.

1. METAPHOR: Comparing two things directly without using “like” or “as.”
* She fills my heart with caramel.
* My beautiful rose is fresh from the garden.
* She plants seeds of confidence. My mom’s the gardener of my life.
* Because she is all the colors in my life.
* Mother is nature’s way of saying, “Hooray!”
* She is my encouraging branch.
* My mom is a cozy place, like a warm cup of cocoa. (contains simile too)
* The sunset is a sign that she is in my heart.
* My mom’s like a calculator. Her love is exponential. (also a simile and analogy)
* Her voice calls upon the angels to sing.
* The warm hearth that has blazed me into myself.
* Her kisses—flawless bubbles.
* Yet an anchor, offering sanctuary from danger.
* Melting the iron surrounding our hearts.
* Mom, a perfect gem…a gift forever.
* She is the greatest wonder of creation.
* Mom is beauty and grace all put into one face.
* The precious pilot of my life.
* A book that never ends. A candle that will never die.
* Mom is a masterpiece created with love.
* She, who architects my very soul.
* Playwright of my world. Purest diamond. Divine author.
* Fragrant lavender of warmth and loving care.
* Her voice—a chorus of angels.
* Her kisses—a butterfly’s whisper.
* She’s like a nocturne, calming my soul. (simile + metaphor)
* Autumn’s sweater of warm comfort.
* Embraced within her soft touch, I am safe.
* Her flowing nature calms my storm. Mom, my refuge.
* She gave my breath its heat. She gave my heart its beat.
* Colored by her values, I am proudly adorned with her signature.
* And so it is I must behold, my mother, the temple of creation.

Wouldn’t it be fun to have a contest and let people guess how many diamonds are in this ring? The correct guesser would get the ring for free. All they would need to do is purchase one of my homemade cupcakes. (Cupcakes are only $5,195)

On the back of this photo is written, Oct 1991. That is the date Carmen and I opened Gallery of Diamonds. What began as a tiny boutique has grown into a mega jewelry store in Santa Ana. Today, nearly five thousand people visit our store every year. I am so grateful that Carmen and our staff have combined their talents to create, what we feel, is the most extraordinary jewelry store in the nation.

Not everyone wins a diamond or gemstone in the Why Mom Deserves a Diamond contest, but thousands of memories have been created in 33 years. These memories are more valuable than diamonds.
