Gifting Myself

A couple of months ago I spent the weekend watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and after one particular episode where Kyle gives her daughter Farrah a ring as a graduation gift, I high tailed it to Southland to scour the jewelers and found one very similar. I bought it on the spot. Total impulse buy but the price was heavily reduced so I figured it was okay. 

After taking it to get resized, the jeweler said there was no way he could reduce the size by 7 sizes. I took it back to the jewelers and they said they would have their jeweler do it. He couldn’t, so they re-ordered another one in L size to see if they could change that to my H size finger. They couldn’t, so a refund is on its way to me but I still wish I had the ring.

At the time I did feel a bit naughty for buying it, so maybe it just wasn’t meant to be?

I do need a good 'play ring' though... 

Does anyone else love RHOBH? Lisa is my favorite, without a doubt. 

Pearly Pearl Pearl

I have been waiting on a package to arrive from White Flash and did not need to wait very long as it arrived via FedEx 3 days later. How is FedEx so darn fast?

There was no need to worry about these little bad boys getting damaged during transit, they were securely wrapped in 2 FedEx boxes, a FedEx bag, bubble wrap, another box and then the wooden box which houses my Akoya Pearl and Diamond Earrings!!

I’m going to use the stock pictures as I have not taken any with my camera, and don’t want to show you my terrible sideburns by taking a photo of them up close on my ear lobe!!

' The luminous 6.5mm Akoya Pearls sit atop a beautiful A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Diamond Melee (0.04ct; F/G VS).'

The diamonds are small, but perfectly proportioned on the pearl.

I now have 3 pairs of Pearl earrings, 1 set that Liz got me for my 21st birthday, a set that were my mums and these!

I need some new excuses for buying jewellery. I think I have used all mine up in the past year.

What is your favourite piece of jewellery?
