Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

Especially when you are born in April, like Babes.

To celebrate the birth of my new babe and mother’s everywhere this Mother’s Day, the wonderful people at Kohl’s are offering one of my lucky readers diamond earrings.

Yep, I just said the magic words.

Diamond and giveaway.

Now, before you begin judging my diamond earrings from Kohl’s, hear this: they are I.G.I. certified for the 4 C’s - color, clarity, cut and carat weight; come with 14K gold screwback posts - so you don’t have to worry about losing them; and are a 1/2 carat in weight in a four-prong setting.

Simply gorgeous.

Not familiar with I.G.I.? They are the International Gemological Institute. It’s where Husby went to buy the diamond for my engagement ring, and where he went back when he wanted to surprise me with diamond earrings for Christmas.

These people know their gems.

Luckily, you don't longer have to trek all the way to New York City's diamond district to find the perfect Mother's Day gift at the right price. You can simply find it at Kohl's. Who knew?

No, seriously, who knew Kohl’s had such a great jewelry department? Let’s just say it’s a good thing Husby still has a few more days before my first Mother’s Day to do his shopping...

What?! A girl can dream - diamonds and rubies and pearls, oh my!

So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and enter this amazing giveaway (valued at $699). Here’s how:

In ONE comment:
  1. Let me know that you are a follower (or become one)
  2. Leave your e-mail address in the comment (or activate e-mail in your profile). If I can’t contact you, you can’t win.
For additional entries (let me know what you’ve done in the SAME COMMENT):

     3.  Tweet about this giveaway and leave the link to your tweet**.
     4.  Create a giveaway button, add it to your blog and tell me where to find it.
     5.  FOR 3 EXTRA ENTRIES write a post about this giveaway on your blog and leave the link to your post (without the link, no extra entries). You must link back to this post through my blog title: Suburban Housewife-in-Training, and you must mention Kohl’s as the giveaway sponsor and link to their site.

**If you have a private twitter account, you MUST add me as a reader so I can view the tweet. Otherwise, you will NOT receive an additional entry. You will only receive ONE extra entry no matter how many times you tweet about the giveaway.

Rules:
*Only open to residents of the continental U.S.A. (sorry folks – international shipping is a nightmare).
*Winners are chosen by random.org.
*Once selected, winner has 48 hours to contact me, otherwise another winner will be chosen.
*Contest ends Sunday, May 9th at 11:59 p.m. ET. Winner will be posted the following day.
*Rules for each entry must be followed to be valid. Blog author has right to refuse any entrant. Any attempt to obtain additional entries, beyond ways listed above, will cause entrant and all entries by that person to be VOID.

Disclaimer:
I was not paid to write this post, nor did I receive a pair of diamond earrings or any other gifts as compensation. I was approached by Kohl’s to sponsor a giveaway for my readers and accepted their offer as I am personally familiar with Kohl's and I.G.I. 


I hope you all enjoyed learning more about the product offerings of the company, as I did, and good luck!
