Treat Yourself To Diamonds By Blue Nile

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Blue Nile UK. All opinions are 100% mine.

Timeless, elegant and utterly glamorous, diamonds really are a girl’s best friend.

In fact, it was Elizabeth Taylor who once said, ‘big girls need big diamonds’ and as someone with BIG hair and an even bigger personality, I can testify that much is true!

I literally dream in diamonds!

Now let me be clear, I’m still some, OK, a LONG way off from owning a jewellery box which matches Ms Taylor’s $115m diamond collection (one day right? #diamondgoals ;)) but I completely love and feel very grateful for the precious pieces that I own.

My husband Peter kindly upgraded my engagement ring last Christmas to a sparkling 1.5 carat ring and I love my diamond eternity ring, a gift from him after my second son, Alexander, was born.

Another sentimental piece is a stunning sapphire and diamond tennis bracelet my mother gave me after the birth of my first son, Oliver in 2010. It was a gift from my father to her years ago, she wanted me to have.

I adore them all and don’t like to save wearing them for just special occasions either, enjoying them every day, pairing them with non-precious but high impact statement jewellery. All jewellery makes me happy. I love a sparkle.

My love of jewellery actually started at a young age.

My Mum calls me a little magpie because as a little girl, I’d trawl through her jewellery boxes, stunned by her pieces, trying on rings, earrings and necklaces, enjoying my dress up time as a princess.

I still love to do it now when I visit!

One of my earliest memories as a child was creating a jewellery box at primary school, carefully gluing sequins on the top of it, deeming it the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. I wish I’d kept it.

After all that, I’m sure you can guess what I’m hoping for this Christmas then can’t you?!

Diamond jewellery is the most perfect way to spoil yourself and/or your loved ones this Christmas (or on Valentine’s Day too)-hint, hint, I’m sending this post directly to my husband’s inbox-and I’ve teamed up with the stunningly beautiful online jewellery store, Blue Nile to share my holiday diamond gift guide to inspire you this season.

Contrary to belief, diamonds don’t have to be incredibly expensive, and what I love about Blue Nile is how their jewellery is not only exceptional quality but also great value too.

They offer free shipping on every order as well as expert guidance, education, and a 30-day return period, ensuring you choose the right pieces for yourself or your loved one.

So without further ado, here is my partnership with Blue Nile’s Holiday Jewellery Gift Guide:
