A Sparkly Present For Her

I celebrated an early anniversary with Karen last weekend; our official 5 year going out anniversary is Oct 31st. As a gift I picked up a set of diamond earrings on 18k white gold. The earrings were 0.25ct total weight from Bluenile. The diamonds are rated as color grade I with a minimum clarity of SI2. The cut is rated as a good and done in a princess cut shape. To top it off, they use a screw back instead of the butterfly.

This is my first diamond purchase and the earrings look fantastic. Needless to say, Karen loved them.

I’ll share some pictures of the dessert we had a dinner once I get the pictures.
