well my personal belief is not to give jewelery to my gf as presents. unless it had another function, just as a watch.

the only time I've broken that belief is when I got her a diamond studs for our 9th year anniversary, just before I quit my job :chuckles:

The next time I break it is for our engagement.

but that's just me.

if you are going to get her diamond ear rings check www.bluenile.com i'm not sure if they go down to the sub $500 mark but they have about 50-60% cheaper than any jewelerly store. I saved at least 50% on my purchase.
