Simple Diamond Necklace Makes for a Perfect Gift

feature photo

I was born in April, so my birthstone is a diamond. I received my first diamond from my parents in the form of a ring given to me at Christmas when I was a teen. My teenage daughter’s birthstone is a diamond, too, and I passed that very ring onto her a few years ago at Christmas.

This year, she’s going to get her first diamond necklace as a gift (Ssssh! She never reads this blog, so don’t tell her). It’s a beautiful, elegant yet simple-enough diamond necklace from Kranich Jewelers Everlon Jewelry collection. Specifically, she’ll be receiving the Everlon Diamond Knot necklace in sterling silver.

I love the simplicity of the Everlon rings, bracelets and necklaces from Kranich’s Jewelers.  They’re elegant, but not “too much” to wear with jeans and a sweater, which is about as dressed up as my teen ever seems to get. In fact, it’s often as dressed up as I seem to get these days, so I may have to borrow her necklace from time to time. (Hint hint, dear hubby).
