Black Diamond

She has a treasure; a treasure she didn't know she had, until someone told her a black diamond was hidden in her throat. It wasn't painful having it lodged inside her throat. In fact, her boyfriend liked it to stay that way; having a lover with a black diamond in her throat. As time passed, the black diamond gave her the ability to get jewelry, a chauffeur, and tonnes of shoes. She went to her musical performances with helicopters and private jets. Her voice was the best thing that had ever happened to her.

I have never heard of a black diamond voice Teddy but I get it. I suppose a voice could be considered a black diamond. Something rare and beautiful. A unique interpretation.
