Jewelry quotes - specially family/heirloom

[Lady_Disdain]

Does anyone have good, positive quotes about jewelry, specially those special heirloom or family pieces? It seems that every quote I find focuses on how character is more important than riches or something like that.

*sigh* Didn't anyone good with words ever get a whole lot of pleasure from Granny's ring or in leaving a beautiful necklace to a daughter?

No quotes that I know of, no, but , my engagement ring came from my fiance's great-great aunt, and I love it. My favorite thing about wearing her diamond is knowing that it has been worn and loved by four generations of women, and that it stands for not only love between all of these husbands and wives, which is a beautiful thing on its own, but also love among this family that I've been invited to join.
