Lana Del Rey's artist indulgence

Lana Del Rey admits being an artist is her "biggest indulgence", aside from diamonds.

Lana Del Rey's biggest extravagance is "being an artist".

The 'Video Games' hitmaker loves spending money she has earned on her music projects and considers it to be her vice.

She said: "My biggest indulgence is being an artist. I still think it's beautiful that I make music for a living.

"The music videos that I make myself are expensive and it takes money to clear all the copyrights."

However music is not the only thing the flame-haired singer enjoys spending on, she also has a habit of buying specially-made diamonds.

She told Lovecat Magazine: "My second indulgence is diamonds. I have a jeweller in Brooklyn named Uri and he makes me all my custom gold and diamond pieces - grills, triple rings, etc."

Lana recently revealed her debut album 'Born To Die' was inspired by someone she had been in a relationship with.

She said: "I felt like falling in love changed me, neurologically and the record is about being faithful in my mind to the memory of that particular person.

"I'm in contact with his mother. He's somewhere else but he's around.

"The album is a tribute to living life on the wild side. I'm sort of kidding because I'm not that wild any more ... I used to drink a lot. Too much. I haven't had a drink for seven years now."
