Nice Booty

Diamond Treasure Hunt

In his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths, among the whispering and the champagne and the stars. – Nick Carraway

If Jay Gatsby were alive today (and, um, a real person), we’d like to think he’d take up residence in the Magic City, where he’d invite his neighbors — Shaq and Diddy — to his lavish manse-warming party, which would surely include a diamond treasure hunt.

He’d call up Matthew’s Jewelers, purveyors of the hunt; he’d tell them the theme (we’re thinking something A Midsummer Night’s Dream-y); and they’d provide the rest: catering, a DJ, clues that will lead guests to the buried treasure (that would be a one- or two-carat diamond), and, of course, the sparkler itself.

The lucky pirate gets not only the loot but also a consultation with the jeweler to create a one-of-a-kind piece.

What a novel idea.
