Your husband is so sweet and has great taste! I love them all but especially the 2 pieces he purchased for you
Thanks so much! He actuall got me all the pieces except for the Mikimoto studs, but I have the funniest story about the first earrings I posted, the diamond and Tahitian black pearls.
Back when he got me those earrings, before we were married, DH had been talking a lot about marriage, and we had recently looked at engagement rings together shortly before Xmas. I had showed him the exact ring that I wanted on
Blue Nile.
Then, a few days before Xmas, FedEx called us at home because they had a very expensive package they were delivering from
Blue Nile, and it needed to be signed for. As you can imagine, I was sure it was my engagement ring! Anyway, we got to his parents house for Xmas - DH presents me with a tiny black box, his parents exchanged a look and got tears in their eyes, and then I open the box to find - a pair of earrings. I felt like I had gotten punched in the gut, and his parents looked very confused (I guess he had told them that he was going to propose at some point in the future, so they thought that was it too). Of course, I love the earrings, and I was very happy and grateful to get them, but every LIW knows what that feels like. We actually did end up getting engaged about 4 months after that, and then I was free to yell at him about tricking me like that with the earrings, and his mom did too
Now they are my favorite pair of earrings, though - I can look back and laugh
