It was an unexpected, extravagant gift. Too lavish, methinks.Despite insisting on my now-usual rules of not wanting material gifts, this gifter (not the man or his family!) is one person that I can't quite shout down. When it comes to the battle of wills, I usually lose. I keep emphasizing that I have enough earrings in varying sizes (and colors) for various purposes. Yes, the collection doesn't have a pair of 2 carats because I don't think it's necessary.
Still, I lost the argument. The jewelers were alerted; stones were selected, set and delivered. So it ends up that this pair of earrings is now sitting snugly in my drawer, waiting to be worn.
When I tried it on, the 2 carats on each ear looked absolutely blinding. My ears aren't that big, but fleshy enough to take the size of the earrings. To be honest, the stones look a tad fake from certain angles.
Well, because of its impractical size, I'm doubtful it can be worn daily. On the weekends and evenings probably. Definitely not to the office or work events. This pair shall be worn on special occasions.
