North's first diamonds!

 

Forget books or teddy bears - for baby North West only diamonds will do.

And as Kim Kardashian, 33, and Kanye West, 37, stepped out with their daughter on her first birthday, they revealed shiny new stones in her ears.

The studs were a new addition for the one-year-old - they were not seen in pictures from her parents' wedding last month.

The earrings were revealed as Kim and Kanye took her to the Children's Museum Of Manhattan in honour of her special day.

While piercing children's ears is a controversial choice, in some cultures it is seen as a traditional step for young girls.

Within the Armenian culture, which is Kim's heritage, it is not usually a typical practice.

Little North was wearing a white dress, coordinating with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star.

Showing off her svelte post-baby body, the reality TV star wore a tight off-white shirt and high-waisted olive green pencil skirt with lace-up booties.

Kim matched her daughter by wearing big diamond stud earrings.

Kim even took to Instagram to gush about the magical day.

Along with a picture of Kanye and Nori sleeping, the star said: 'This is what life is about! Our baby girl turned 1 today! We played so hard they passed out while we were watching the game! Happy Father's Day to the best daddy in the world! 

'The way you love our daughter and protect her makes me filled with so much love! #BestDayEver #Twins #HappyFathersDay #HappyBirthday.'
