Present for my daughter!

[cinnamon013]

I got this ring for my middle daughter's 15th birthday! I can't wait for her to open it, but her birthday isn't until next Monday! I'd love to sneak a peek at it now that I'm home, but I can't imagine that I can tie that bow back!

It's a Tiffany Elsa Peretti sterling silver ring with a .02 diamond. She is allergic to nickel, and these rings have only copper as the added metal. I am thrilled!

We had visited Tiffany's a few weeks ago, and this is the ring she liked best. She found a website that has some nice knock off versions of several Tiffany pieces, but I just couldn't imagine buying a knock off as a 15th birthday present. When she sees it, she is gonna be really happy.

I'll take pictures next week, but for now...here is the Tiffany site's photo of it.

That is such a cute ring. The perfect introductory diamond ring for a teenager!

What a beautiful little ring, she will love it. I am hoping to get a new ring for my birthday which is Tuesday. So Happy Birthday to your 15 yr.old. Please, more pic''s after her birthday.

my parents got me the same ring for my college graduation, and i still wear it sometimes now (been 7 years). I think your daughter will love it

Thanks to everyone! I feel kinda bad for her with her nickel allergy, she has a hard time wearing any jewelry, so this ring will be extra special in that she really doesn''t even have costume jewelry she can wear.

I got my oldest a really cute silver Judith Ripka bracelet with a light blue sapphire charm sort of thing last year when she turned 16. It is a beauty. I was a bit worried, because all my girls are pretty independent, and I was reluctant to spend money on something she hadn''t at least window shopped with me before and seen. It was the same nearly the same price as this ring, and I was worried she wouldn''t like it. I still remember buying it. I walked into a really nice jewelry store here in Denver, and said my budget was $250 for a 16 year old birthday present. i felt a bit out of place, but the sales lady went and picked out the bracelet - it has links and is kind of chunky to look at initially, the stone is cut into a heart shape, and is surrounded by a metal circle thingy, with a tiny yellow gold heart and itty bitty diamond chip at the top. Ok, I can''t really explain it, I''ll have to take a picture of it sometime soon. Anyway, it called to me in the store that she would love it. I bought it within 5 minutes of walking in...then worried about it for a week. When she opened it, I thought she did not like it. BUT, she wears it frequently and it truly is her style. The jewelry store says it will rhodium plate it for life when/if it needs it.

For my birthday girl coming up, she did try this one on at Tiffany, so I know she will be thrilled! So fun!

Thanks for letting me share my story.

She will be so excited! My mom bought me my first diamond (1/3 5 stone band) too and I really like that tradition. It is a great ring!

What a gorgeous ring!!! I completely feel for your daughter with the nickel allergy...didn''t know that it was possible to get non-problematic silver. I''ll have to check that out.

 

[Stone Hunter]

Very thoughtful gift and cool looking too! Thanks for sharing this with us.

 

[kathleenmv]

Wonderful idea! She''ll love it.

Cute ring! I am biased because I recevied this exact silver ring as one of my Christmas gifts from my BF last year. We call it "baby bling" because it is so cute. Actually, I am wearing it now and that .02 diamond really sparkles, she will love it!!

That''s lovely! Lucky girl!

 

[FireGoddess]

It''s fantastic - I definitely wish I had gotten something in a little blue box when I was that age!!

 

[Diamonds make me happy!]

How sweet! I have 2 boys so I''ll never be able to do that.

My 10 year old already makes fun of me b/c Im always taking pictures of my rings, etc. Boys just don''t understand!! I hope your daughter loves her ring!

What a wonderful gift!! Happy 15th Birthday to your daughter!!

 

[rainydaze]

what a nice idea, and a beautiful ring! i LOVE that ring, too!! she''s going to be thrilled! my parents surprised my on my 13th birthday and took me shopping for my first piece of jewelry (an opal ring as opal is my birthstone) and it''s a memory i hold dear to this day, as i do the ring!

 

[cinnamon013]

Here''s a couple of photos of my daughter''s ring. She really loves it. And yes, getting a diamond ring from Tiffany was a big hit. Quite worth it!

Lovely! you are such a great mom!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Looks great on her hand!

 

[Kaleigh]

Love it, what a nice Mom you are!!! She''ll treasure it always!!

 

[CaityJ]

Well done, mom! A very nice gift!

 

[cinnamon013]

Thanks everyone! I would highly recommend this ring as an affordable present for anyone you want to show you love them. It's about the same price as an ipod, a new bike, or a couple of new outfits/shoes. For me, it was a nicer way to celebrate her birthday than getting her some Hollister and Rocket Dogs!
