Sentimental Jewelry?

Question

I loved my Gramma Irene, so very much. She and I always shared such a passion for beautiful Jewelry. She passed away around Christmas of 2004. I have been thinking about her a lot. What are the most important pieces of jewelry a Girl will acquire during her lifetime? What are your most loved pieces, and why? My Gramma would have loved to hear your stories, as would I.

I would love to hear more from you all!

Answer 1

The most important pieces that a woman can acquire are the ones that make her feel beautiful, confident, alluring and loved. That can be anything from a $3.99 find from an old friend, to a diamond pendant from a grandparent valued in the thousands of dollars.

Oddly enough, my favorite jewelry is the cluster of saint medals that my grandmother always wore pinned to whatever she was wearing. The familiar tinkle of them delicately chiming together whenever we hugged is something I will never forget. How I miss her!

Thank you for warming my heart on this cool summer evening.

Answer 2

I have a bracelet that belonged to my great grandmother. Her name is still visible. It's a heavy, gold engraved bracelet, a clip together type, could probably be used as a weapon, it's very very pretty. It was given to her by her father on the day she got married. On the day my grandmother got married, she passed it down to her. On the day my mother got married she got the bracelet. I got it 25 years ago when I got married. I don't have a daughter. I have a son. So I'm going to will it to the next blood-line female, whether that be my direct niece or a granddaughter I have yet to have. I just feel the need to keep it in the bloodline and not give it to a stepdaughter or daughter-in-law who could divorce out of the family. But, unlike my mom, or my grandmother, who kept the bracelet in it's original box stuck in a drawer, I wear the bracelet a lot. I take excellent care of it, but I show it off. It deserves to be shown off. And I get compliments on it all the time.

Honey, I am SO sorry for your loss. I know you miss her terribly. But I also know she will always be with you. She's right there in your heart and she always will be. She's your own special Guardian Angel.

Answer 3

attempt speaking on on your mom. per chance she felt positioned on the spot. i'd not search for suggestion from along with your sister, because your thoughts are nevertheless fairly uncooked and also you don't desire to assert something that could want to commence a wrestle. Ask your mom in the journey that your daughter(s) could have a particular piece of her earrings as a sentimental aspect. Or tell her you would want to have some problems with hers to remember her through at the same time as she is lengthy gone. at the same time as my Grandma knew her time became arising, she had us all sit down and seem at her issues and take what we needed. Now, i'm so happy we were able to do this. basically attempt speaking on your mom and telling her how significant that is to you and your daughters that you've something from her.

Answer 6

'm sorry to hear about your Gramma. Mine too, has pasted away. Her mothers ring is so very sacred to me. She had 8 kids a ton of us grandkids. So, needless to say she wore a spectrum on her finger & never took it off. Just to think about her makes me miss her so very much. She has been gone for about 3yrs. now. When I was a lil girl, I asked my Mawmaw to make me a promise that was when she died she'd come back to see me. And when she was sick and could hardly talk I asked her if she remembered the promise she made to me. She said yes. And I dream about her alot. So, I think she comes to me in my dreams.

She won't like mine. i inherited some really fine diamond rings
and i sold them for the cash to pay bills. Now i figure this, when
you die, you can't take them with you and i got alot of cool stuff
too. A 27"inch color TV with DVD and VHS. Many other things too.

Oh well, I LIVE FOR WHAT I NEED TO MAKE IT EACH MONTH.
Forgive me dead relatives. You know i value my car most of all !

Answer 10

i have my grandmas cookwear..pots pans, cooking tools. I have her temper and mouth..I have tried to go back to some of the stuff i was taught and make sure she is remembered..i think about her often and named my 1st girl after her first born who died at birth..my grandmas thoughts and feelings was important to me but we didnt get along but when she needed to tell me something i listened..i would have liked my relationship to back to how it was when i was a little girl i would have loved that..but it wasnt something that she allowed. My grandma loved flowers, and my 1st boy she loved him very much and was so very proud of him..she had me marry my husband on the same day as my grandparents, and the dates, and names being carried on in my family is so important to me..but sometimes in all honesty i wish she could have saw my little girl and i wish she could have held my 2nd boy, and i wish she could have saw me for what i am now instead of what she thought i was..that to me is very sad..and i wish i could have cooked more for her and had her tell me what i needed to do..but i have my mom and i am glad but i miss my family my grandparents alot..
