Wow, I can't believe I haven't recommended this already! This necklace is the first (and only) diamond that I own. My ex-boyfriend got it for me for Valentine's day a few years back and I love it. I am not even going to pretend that I know how to talk about diamonds but these are no Zales diamonds baby ... these are fancy pants diamonds. This necklace isn't too long so it doesn't get in the way of your outfits. I should know I didn't take it off for over a year. This will go down as one of the best gifts I have ever received ... maybe one day I will put it back on :)
