Symbol- Black Diamond
A black diamond symbolizes being unique and different, which was what Jordan Baker was compared to the majority of the women in The Great Gatsby. Jordan's character broke many stereotypes that existed for women in the 1920s, because being a professional golfer, she often travelled and she was accustomed to being a more independent character. Jordan fulfills a more masculine role in the story which sets her apart from all the women at the time. A black diamond represents being unique because black diamonds are rare and not seen as often as white diamonds are.
