If you haven't burned a Diamond Candle, let me tell you this: It is a wonderful experience... from the beautiful scent, the clean burning candle, and the surprise ring found in each candle (each candle has a surprise ring that you pull out as it burns, and the value ranges from $10, $100, $1,000 and $5,000).
Diamond Candles are soy candles, which burn cleaner and longer than parafin candles, and they are more earth friendly as they are made from soy beans, which are both a renewable resource and biodegradable.
They are available in over 26 scents. I got to review the Fresh Snow scent which is a combination of peppermint, patchouli and eucalyptus (but I think it smells more like egg nog and sugar cookies).
I let my candle burn for quite a while and at the earliest possible moment, I pulled the ring out of the wax using a wooden chop stick. The ring was wrapped in foil and laying near the golden seal that you can see from the outside of the glass jar. I layed it on papertowel and gently opened the foil to reveal a beautiful ring (pictured below). I'm sure it is one of the $10 rings, but it is still fun and really pretty!

Pearls are ageless, timeless, and have endless beauty. They are also perfect for girls of any age. Pearls are beautiful on all of us, from little girls, to grandmothers... they enhance our inner and outer beauty, giving us a sense of pride and confidence... and they make us feel like a real princess.
I also personally believe that pearls are one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry that a girl can have. They can be dressed up with a fancy dress (think prom, weddings, Sunday best), but they can be worn with jeans just as easily.
Pearls also make the perfect gift! For the little ballerina, who would love to dance around wearing pretty pearls. For the graduate, who has just earned their degree and is ready to take on the business world. For the bride, who will walk down the aisle wearing the perfect jewelry to set off her dress. For the new Mommy who will always think of her baby when she puts on her new pearls. You see I can go on and on here. Pearls are a perfect gift, whether for a special occasion, or a "just for me" type gift... They will be cherished forever.
(My grandmother gave me an heirloom strand of pearls when I graduated, and I have worn them for just about every special occasion I've had since, including my wedding.)
I've found the selection and prices at PurePearls.com to be wonderful, and their quality is amazing. The site is elegant, easy to navigate, and they have a huge selection of pearl jewelry in all price ranges. They have a large assortment including: Pearl Earrings, Freshwater Pearls, Pearl Sets, and even some great pearl jewelry for Men.
I was given the opportunity to review Pure Pearls' AAA 7.0-8.0mm Freshwater Pearl Earrings (which come in white, pink, lavender or black). I had previously reviewed a beautiful Lavender pearl necklace from Pure Pearls, so I chose these in lavender to match.
When the earrings arrived, I was amazed. Not only did they match perfectly, but the color really did match the lavender strand of pearls as well. The arrived inside an elegant velvet box, which was nestled inside a white gift box. The necklace came with a GIA Prepared Appraisal Certificate, and care instructions.
I got them in time to wear them for our family pictures. I felt great and think they were the perfect accessory to wear. :) The earrings (and matching necklace) helped me feel confident and pretty.
