Is this too much to ask for?

Really, is this too much to ask for? Perhaps not for the ultra rich. 

This Tiffany & Co. earrings is made of 16 pear shaped diamonds with a total carat weight of 16.34 and 18 round cut diamonds of 1.40 carats mounted on white gold. Having mentioned those numbers, you can assume that this costs six digits or $300,000 to be exact.

Our love is for enternity

Pave diamond eternity ring from Blue Nile, $1,220.

Five years ago, my boyfriend for four years proposed to me. Instead of giving me an engagement ring, he gave me an eternity ring that matches his. The relationship was blissful, it was not perfect, but, I can say that it felt complete so I said yes for a lifelong commitment with him.

On May 27, we will celebrate our 5th year of engagement and our 9th year of being together.

Mrs. Jumbo

Jennifer Meyer elephant necklace, $7,550 at Net-A-Porter. It is made of 14k gold with  0.90ct diamonds.

One of my son's favorite Disney movies is Dumbo, it happens to be mine, too. I just love the values the story teaches us--friendship, love, acceptance, perseverance, and confidence among others. I especially love Mrs. Jumbo's unconditional love for her son, primarily because I am a mother, too. The part of the movie that brought me to tears was when Mrs. Jumbo sang Dumbo a lullaby. I can feel a mother's love overflowing at that moment.

So, whenever I see an elephant, real or otherwise, like this Jennifer Meyer necklace, it reminds me how great a mother's love can be.

Do you believe in angels?

Rachel Roy winged stretch ring, $38 at Macy's.

My mom always tell me, "You don't need to grow wings to be an angel. Just live with love, kindness, humility, and forgiveness and people will realize that an angel is among them."

This gigantic emerald of 57,000 carats--the world's largest--will be auctioned on January 28 by Western Star Auctions in British Columbia, Canada. It weighs 11.5 kilograms and around 12 inches long. It is currently valued to $1.15 million (pretty expensive for a rough cut emerald).

The football-sized 'Teodora' (God's gift in translation) emerald was discovered in Brazil.

Tribal Inspired Necklaces

My sister was so generous to buy me three tribal inspired necklaces. She knows my weakness. And she didn't have to spend a fortune to please me. She bought these necklaces from a thrift store in Manila.

This necklace and bracelet set is a Christmas gift from a former boss. She loves me so much that even after two years of not working for her, she never fails to give me gifts during special occasions.
