About Diamond Mike
I was adopted as an infant and grew up in New Albany, Indiana. My adopted mother lovingly instilled in me the idea that all things are possible, and the amazing thing about every day is we create it. In this site you will find wonder, imagination, and the secrets to create your own success.
In honor of my adoptive mother and the birth mother I have never known, I established the Why Mom Deserves a Diamond® contest. Every year, thousands of kids submit words of love and appreciation for the chance to win a diamond or other gemstones to give to their moms. Today the contest is in honor of all moms.
I am the author of Moon Over Mountains- the Search for Mom, The Legend of Why Mom Deserves a Diamond, Tales of Imagination- Everything is Real, and many other books.
I am a GIA gemologist and the founder of Gallery of Diamonds jewelers in Orange County, California. If you live far away, you can order my creations from www.GalleryOfDiamonds.com.
If you would like to see the Why Mom Deserves a Diamond contest grow, please join me. There are many ways you can become a contest supporter. Call me at 714-549-2000, or email me at info@galleryofdiamonds.com.
Have a Diamond Day,
Diamond Mike Watson

I recently moved that blog to its own domain http://toraveabout.com
so I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to my blog at its new address.
I hope to see you there. Thanks!
How beautiful that you created a contest to honor your mothers… Though this is my first visit to your blog and I don’t know your story yet, I am sure I am correct in assuming that both of your mothers are/were very proud of their son… I know I would be.
What a wonderful tribute…
Why thank you, Thirties! The wonderful mom I knew was my adoptive mom. My birthmother died before I had the chance to met her. The contest, however, is in honor of all moms. I’ll make sure I learn more about you.
You are very welcome. I’m sorry you weren’t able to meet your birth mother, but I am glad you had/have a wonderful Mom. It is wonderful that your run this contest in honor of all moms — what a special gift and tribute.
What a kindness, to honor mothers-all mothers, it is a kindness.
Thank you, Epstein.
Thanks for the follow, Mike! As I read your “About,” you kinda took me back to my days of romping the streets of Philly and hearing the “Robbins 8th and Walnut” commercials all the time. That was before Robbins jewelers outgrew Philly 🙂 Looking forward to connecting!
Thank you, AR. I hope one of these days we will outgrow our city also!
Thank you for stopping by and following! I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for checking out my artwork and following my blog 😀
You are so accomplished! My husband is adopted too, and he used to be a jeweler as well! A lot in common! I love that you created a contest! Awesome.
Thanks for following my blog! I really like yours too!
Thank you, Lily! So your husband must be a pretty great guy to have so many things in common. Is he also a left- handed Pices? I’m so glad to have you as a friend and follower, Lily. I wish you the best in all that you do.
He’s a left-hand Aquarius! So close! Haha
Thank you so much, same to you!
Thanks for the follow! I really appreciate that.
