Daintily Gorgeous
While brainstorming and browsing around for the perfect adoption gift for Paula Andréa, I realized that her birthstone (according to most sites anyway) is pink tourmaline, her favorite color! Then I thought a matching necklace and earrings set would be the perfect first gift from her forever mom. For some reason, it was rather difficult to find a set that was appropriate for an 11 year old, not overly expensive, and not, well, ugly.
Then it hit me... Etsy!! Why didn't I think of that first?? I found the PERFECT set there. They arrived today and I am more than pleased. I can totally picture her face when she opens them too. I love her wide-eyed joy and excitement face! (Like when she saw her room for the first time. :D) The earring stones are a little bit smaller than the necklace, but, as I stated in my feedback, they are "daintily gorgeous" just like Paula. Absolutely perfect. I wish I didn't have to wait a month to give them to her!
I stole these images from the listings, but linked them to the listings as well. Feel free to click through and browse her shop. I'm not a jewelry person myself, but she has some beautiful pieces. Friendly seller and prompt shipping, too.
Other items that arrived at my house today: The Shaggy Dog DVD (a movie we thoroughly enjoyed and watched multiple times when she was here in November) and a couple of Barbies. :-9 Christmas occurs during May in Bogotá, right??
