Default Mom's anniversary present
So my parents are almost married for 30 years and I decided to treat my mom to some earrings. I decided on Platinum Diamond studs.

The diamonds are 3,49carat D color IF and 3,51carat D color VVS1

The pics don't do them justice (crappy camera) and I will try to get some better pics tomorrow.

Stunning!! If at all possible can you show shots of the earrings in her ears? (I find that's the best way to see diamond studs in pics). What a lucky mom!!

Now I'm curious what your dad's gift is. :)

The "modern" gift for a 30th anniversary is diamonds (you can check that off), but the "traditional" gift is pearls.

My husband and I have our first wedding anniversary this summer. It's traditionally the "paper" anniversary so our gift to each other is putting money into our savings (some of which goes to diamonds anyway, lol).

Well we don't really care about what the traditional and modern gifts are :P, the reason I bought her round diamonds is because she always got thos from my grandfather every single anniversary, since he past away about a year ago I decided to take over that tradition.

btw I'm curioud about my dad's gift too what I just told you is everything I know :S
