Pandeiro
It was the Portuguese who brought the tambourine to the Brazilians and now the thought of Brazil and its carnival without it seems an impossibility. My golden pandeiro is double sided so you can have any combination of diamonds, or wear it plain if you prefer. I have also made it in silver and in all of them the tiny Zils tinkle as they move and as you move, just as in a real tambourine.
Diamond
Diamond- from the Greek 'adamas' means the unconquerable and so it is, being the hardest of all gemstones. From yellowish to green, red, pink and blue, diamonds are found in all colours in South Africa, Australia, as well as Namibia, Russia and China.
