 A Pet’s Best Friend

Life, and the passing of time, should be a celebration! That’s why here in Neopia there are several celebrations throughout the year: Pet days, holidays like Valentine’s Day and April Fools’s Day, the Faerie Festival and much, much more. For birthday’s and other special events, yearly anniversaries are tied to materials, correlating to the types of gift traditionally given for that year. The longer something persists, the more luxurious the material that is associated with it. For instance, one year equals a paper gift (like the Neopian times- perfect!). While Neopets itself is in Year 25 (silver), this is the 975th issue of the Neopian Times! For today’s special edition, we will be focusing on solely the last two numbers, 75, which correlate to shiny, dazzling diamonds! Therefore, for this special edition, I will be highlighting the best diamond-encrusted (or just outright diamond) items in all of Neopia! Diamond Hot Dog Feeling hungry? While not the easiest food to digest, this sparkling hot dog will definitely leave an impression on your pet- and on their dental record. Any pet would be lucky to dine on such a fine culinary masterpiece, tasting the beautiful crystallized structure. Best yet: the Diamond Hot Dog is, of course, gourmet, and counts as points toward your pet's Gourmet Club ranking. Bon Appetite! Your Coal is Now Diamonds The most valuable thing of all? Knowledge. That is why next on this list is the book “Your Coal is Now Diamonds”, a book given out by the advent calendar in Year 16. Sounds exclusive and priceless right? Lucky for you, this book can easily be found by searching the Shop Wizard, so go forth and learn! Let your brilliance shine across all of Neopia! Diamond Snowball Easily the most affordable item on this list is the Diamond Snowball, because why shouldn’t every pet get a taste of luxury? This brilliantly bright snowball is also useful in the Battledome, so stock up by visiting the Ice Crystal Shop before your pet takes on its next challenger. Who knows, it may just blind the competition, leading you to a flawless victory. Diamond Yooyu Pendant A little more elusive to find will be the Diamond Yooyu Pendant. This gorgeous and genuine piece of jewellery was an Altador Cup prize, so while rare there are still some up for sale, for the right price… But maybe your pet’s beautiful customisation already has a necklace, or maybe they wear a collar. In that case, why not try… Diamond Yooyuball Earrings What’s better than one Yooyu(ball)? Two! As a pair of earrings! Easily transform your pet into the belle of the ball with these dangling earrings. They’re flashier than any Faerie and tougher than any Altador Cup athlete. If you want your pet to stand out in any land in Neopia, these earrings would be a sure way to accomplish that- you’ll be able to see them gleam from miles and miles away! Fake Diamond Ring The diamond may be fake, but that shimmer is all real. Another item given out by the Advent Calendar, this time in Year 17, that would make a perfect gift for your pet or a Neofriend. What does it matter if it’s not real if it’s just as ravishing? Isn’t it the thought that counts anyway? While it isn’t wearable, it would make a glorious, glimmering addition to anyone’s gallery. A great symbolic gift of friendship! Enormous Fake Diamond Well, where do you think the master Neopian jewellers got the diamond for that ring? Maybe your pet or Neofriend isn’t the ring type- no problem! With this raw diamond, the possibilities are endless! Maybe you’re trying to save up for your dream Paint Brush, or have all your Neopoints tied up in stocks. Whatever the reason for your frugality, you’ll be happy to hear that instead of just buying this gift, your pet can simply fish for this one. It might take a few tries and you may catch some kelp along the way, but that will make finally fishing out this diamond in the rough all the more satisfying! Diamond Circlet Wig or Laced with Diamond Wig or Chic Wig with Diamonds Wigs are one of the most popular accessories for pets. They’re the perfect way to top off a beautiful outfit, but do you know what would make your pet’s luscious locks even fancier? Yes, diamonds of course! Luckily, the NC Mall has had several diamond-studded wigs throughout the years. While finding one up for trade from another user may prove to be a little more difficult, you never know who you’ll meet to get that sensational hairpiece. Maybe the real precious diamonds are the new Neofriends we’ll meet along the way… okay, back to the wigs! Is your pet a beautiful blond? Maybe a bewitching brunette? Potentially even a radiant redhead? No matter the style, you can find a glamorous wig in that colour. Let me point you to three options for every charming and classy customization. The Diamond Circlet Wig is perfect for all elegant pets who want to pay homage to the classic coifs of the Air and Water Faerie. If you’re looking for something a little darker and more fierce, try the Laced with Diamonds Wig on for size. When every strand shines, no pet will be able to turn away. Lastly, if you’re looking for something even darker still, the Chic Wig with Diamonds is the answer. Be ready to make everyone else feel underdressed when your pet stuns in this striking wearable. Glittering Black Diamond Dress Because why does every diamond item have to be blue or white? This classic Glittering Black Diamond Dress dives into the darker side of the colour palette. A black dress is fitting for any occasion and matches anything, so go crazy with the accessories, backgrounds, and other extras to make this dress pop as part of the perfect customisation! Neopia’s best dressed list here you come! Diamond Flower Tiara The only thing that could truly top this list is, of course, a tiara- The Diamond Flower Tiara at that. Like an authentic diamond still in a mine, it’s gonna be a bit of a hunt to find this crown jewel, but it would all be worth it to make your precious pet feel like royalty. Trends come and go- who knows what kind of hats pets will be wearing next year- but a tiara is going to be timeless. This piece can get passed from pet to pet without ever going out of style. Let that classic, diamond fashion bloom!
