diamond princess cut earrings, hand made jewelryThis year I am getting something really special for my husband for Christmas.  I've been looking at some men's diamond watches, and I found the perfect one for him.  He is such a professional...and he downplays that role as often as possible.  Whenever I can, I try and keep a lookout for discount jewelry online, and I take advantage of the discount prices offered by the internet stores.

Since I started buying Christmas gifts, I found a diamond pendant for one daughter, and some diamond princess cut earrings for the other.  It is nice to find and buy the gifts early, and thereby keep my money disposal at a minimum.  The girls love jewelry almost as much as their Mom...and that is a lot!  Sometimes I find great hand made jewelry at arts and crafts shows; but, overall, most of my collection is silver and/or gold.  I love a good costume jewelry piece, and I have collected many costume jewelry pins.  My Mom has also given me many pieces of her old jewelry...and I love it!
