I just love receiving and giving gifts, in that order! My husband too shares this sentiment.The only hitch is that Ash doesn’t like to buy a present that the receiver is expecting or to reveal the gift that he is going to give till the D-Day. He secretly buys a gift (without consulting us, of course) and then hides it! He did this when he bought me a vine diamond ring! So more often than not, my children and I receive gifts that we are not exactly thrilled about. This year I would somehow have to make him “come up with the idea” of gifting me a diamond necklace! I want him to present me with a circle with diamonds necklace, as it would match the round diamond stud earrings that I was planning to buy for myself.

I realized that I would first have to select a necklace before I seeded the idea into Ash’s mind. When I searched the net, I saw such a vast selection of necklaces that I would have been totally confused as to what to choose. Fortunately my choice was narrowed down, as I wanted a necklace that would coordinate with my earring perfectly. I found three such necklaces that would make the perfect holiday gift for women:

1. The first circle with diamonds necklace that caught my eye was a Journey Circle Diamond Pendant 1.0 Carat (ctw) in 14K White Gold Chain. The journey circle pendant has 30 dazzling diamonds, with an approximate weight of 1 carat, adorning it. This beautiful necklace is a stunner.
2. The second was a 14k White Gold Diamond Circle Necklace. The design of this necklace is adorable and so is the concept behind the design. It is made up of interlocking circles that have radiant diamonds (1.10 ctw) set in them. It is supposed to symbolize eternal love. When I saw the necklace I thought to myself, “If Ash is going to gift me a necklace, it might as well be accompanied by a romantic message!”
3. I absolutely loved the third necklace, a 14k Gold Diamond Circle Pendant with chain. This necklace with a 16-inch yellow gold chain has a circular yellow gold pendant that is studded with sparkling diamonds of .75 ctw. This elegant necklace seemed to match my earrings the most.

Now I keep giving frequent subtle hints to Ash. I tell him how a white gold diamond necklace looked so pretty on Mrs Smith. I also occasionally allude to the fact that I am buying a yellow gold diamond earring this year and will save to buy a matching yellow gold Circle with Diamonds Necklace next year. I am keeping my fingers crossed – hopefully he shall get the hint before Christmas! Now I have to look for a nice jewelry armoire to keep my new necklace safe.
