Diamonds are a girl's best friend right? An Akron woman took that concept too far.

Sitting in the slammer on grand theft charges, Luella M. Conley, 24, of Akron admitted to Akron Police that she stole $70,000 worth of diamonds from her employer Sterling Jewelers.

She stuffed her jewelry stash with heart earrings and ruby and blue sapphire accessories during her four to five month stint with the company off of Ghent Road.

She's expected to appear in court today for her arraignment.
