My sister had invited all our kith and kin and planned for my surprise birthday party. She left no stone unturned to design and beautify our house. Moreover, she even gifted me a watch. It was bedazzled with handsome glossy stones with intriguing matrix. The embeded delicate dreamy blue and luxe red stones gave it a sensual glamarous look.
