Diamonius Simulated Diamond Ring Review

 

Diamonius Reviews Monaco Ring

When I was pregnant with Matthew, our first child, Larry decided to take me to Las Vegas for one last hoopla. Of course things never turn out exactly like we expect. This time my brother-in-law and his fiancee asked if they could join us. Of course we said yes, the more the merrier! Well one thing led to another and instead of it being my last birthday party before we became parents it turned into my brother-in-law’s wedding. Larry and I were asked to be the best man and matron of honor. We were both so flattered, especially since I was 8 months pregnant and very swollen, and probably not looking my best. So when we walked out of the little chapel, arm in arm, me carrying flowers and visibly VERY pregnant it isn’t surprising that people on the street outside loudly stated “Aw, isn’t it nice they finally got married.”

Because of my pregnancy I couldn’t wear my wedding set, and right after that statement was made I told Larry he had to buy me a replacement band for me to wear for the duration of my pregnancy. Wouldn’t Diamonius have been the perfect solution? Diamonius has simulated diamonds in gorgeous settings at very reasonable prices. I had to settle for a so-so looking band when I was in Vegas, but with Diamonius I could have had a set that looked remarkably similar to my real wedding set.

Diamonius sent me the Monaco Ring to review and I have to say it is lovely. The setting has a brilliant cut center stone with two smaller brilliant cut stones on either side. It is finished with 5 pave set stones on the outside of those simulated diamonds. It is a delicate and feminine ring that I think would make any woman feel good. I know I was very excited when I opened the box for the first time. I have actually been wearing it daily since receiving the Monaco Ring. The base metal of the ring is sterling silver and the simulated diamond is actually hard enough to cut glass! I think that is super cool. The Moraco Ring is also inclusion free and clear in color. That means is sparkles and shines all the more.

I have a little bit of an obsession with glitter. It isn’t like I use it all the time, but I have this weird desire when I see it. I need to get my hands on it and own it. Sort of the same way I am about books and paint. It took me a long time to fall in love with the library because every time I wanted a book, I wanted to own it, not just borrow it. I’m over that now. But when I see glitter I have to possess it. So to help ease my obsession I decided to make some DIY Glitter Sunglasses.

How to Make DIY Glitter Sunglasses

The formula is simple. Find yourself some cheap sunglasses you like. I got mine at Target for about $8.00. Then get yourself some fun, sparkly glitter. I couldn’t resist this pack of twelve chunky glitters from Recollections. For this project I opted for the copper color on the tortoise shell glasses and Ebony on the black glasses. Lastly you need some Modge Podge and a small paint brush to apply the Modge Podge. I used Mod Podge Gloss
for this project. DO NOT use the Matte Modge Podge as it will dull the glitter.

DIY Glitter Sunglasses
 
Ingredients
  • sunglasses
  • Modge Podge gloss
  • paint brush
  • glitter
  • sanding block
Instructions
  1. Using the paint brush apply a light layer of the Modge Podge to the outside ear pieces of the sunglasses.
  2. While the Modge Podge is wet, sprinkle the glitter over the entire area.
  3. Allow to air dry.
  4. Once dry, apply another thin layer of the Modge Podge to the top of the glitter to seal it and keep the glitter from falling off.
  5. Allow to dry completely.
  6. Check the underside of the ear pieces for glitter and use the sanding block to sand it away so it does not irritate your ears.

Wordless Wednesday Light

This wordless Wednesday I wanted to share with you a couple of photos I took just because I loved the play of the light through the glass. This is some unfiltered ginger soda I was drinking hoping to settle my very unhappy belly. But when I put the bottle and glass on the counter I fell in love with the way the light was streaming through the bottle and I knew I needed to take a few pictures. And that is really the only reason I snapped these; simply because I thought they were pretty. I hope you enjoy them too.
