I’ve been ripping my CDs onto my lovely computron, to put onto my iNana (deliberate misspelling, I am a late adaptor, just like my Nana), and have noticed only a couple of songs have titles referencing jewellery. Now I don’t have a vast collection of music (something over 2000 songs), but these are the ones I found among mine …
- ‘Precious‘, Annie Lennox
- ‘Golden Slumbers‘, ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer‘, ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds‘, Beatles
- ‘Mojo Pin‘, Jeff Buckley
- ‘Constant in Opal‘, The Church
- ‘Velvet Goldmine‘, David Bowie
- ‘Love over Gold‘, Dire Straits
- ‘Silver Springs‘, ‘The Chain‘, ‘Gold Dust Woman‘, Fleetwood Mac
- ‘Diamonds on the Inside‘, Ben Harper
- ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond‘, Pink Floyd
- ‘Mother of Pearl‘, Roxy Music
- ‘This Charming Man‘, The Smiths
- ‘Rubylove‘, Cat Stevens
- ‘Fields of Gold‘, Sting
- ‘Precious Things‘, Tori Amos
Melbourne Jeweller 
Here’s my favourite jewellery reference in music. I have used it as an artist statement quite a few times now, so much more eloquent and evocative than I could be!
‘we finally made it. On a hill top at 4am. The whole city is your jewellery box, a million
twinkling streetlights… Reach out and take what you want, you can have it all’
lyrics by Jarvis Cocker from Sheffield Sex City by Pulp
Diamonds & Pearls – Prince
Diamonds are a girls best friend – Marilyn Monroe’s famous song
and thats all i have
thank you ladies!
Took my diamond to the pawnshop, but ‘that don’t make it junk’ – Leonard Cohen
