5. My gold locket, a wedding gift from my husband and something that has a special significance to us. It’s on the ornate/fancy side for me, but even so I wear if very often. It’s a very, very special piece to me.
MC, not only is he real, but his name is George and he has his very own thread!

Great topic Musey!
Here''s my whole collection! I didn''t realize I had this many pieces! I had a lot of fun cleaning them all and having a little photoshoot of them for about an hour... FI laughed at me. Haha.
Top left box:
Jewelry from my grandmother: A diamond starburst broach in rose gold and an emerald and diamond bracelet in yellow gold.
I don''t know much about either piece except that they are old and that her wealthy second husband bought them for her. When I went to visit for my cousins wedding last summer, she gave these pieces to me. I plan on taking them to get appraised so that I can learn more about them. I''m thinking of using the stones in the bracelet to make a ring one of these days as I''m not really a bracelet kinda gal.
Bottom left box:
Garnet pendant from my parents. It was a junior high graduation present and really my first piece of ''real'' jewelry. Garnet is my birthstone (4 days till my birthday!!).
The diamond circle pendant was from FI back when he was BF. He bought it for me when we went on a vacation to Oregon (my home state, we now live in California). All I know is that it''s 1/2 ctw. I have a sheet somewhere that lists color/clarity but I''m going to assume the stones are H/I and probably SI clarity. But it definitely sparkles a lot and most, if not all of the stones are eye clean. I love it! He said it represented his eternal love for me...
Right box starting at the top left and going down:
- My engagement ring! 1.22 ct cushion G SI2. Setting was custom made and I LOVE IT!
- My sapphire and diamond RHR that FI gave to me last Christmas (07). I wear it almost every day and LOVE it! He picked it out all by himself and COMPLETELY surprised me with it! It''s totally my style and I think he did an amazing job!
- 7 stone garnet and yellow gold ring. I have had this ring for a very very long time. I don''t know who got it for me or when but I''m guessing my mom got it for me at some point. Or it might have even been hers at one point. I don''t know. I don''t wear it very often anymore because my e-ring is white gold and I don''t really like the look of white gold and yellow gold together, on me at least.
- My second promise ring from FI back before he was FI! It''s a 1/2 ctw three stone diamond ring from Zales (yes I know... haha). This was pre-ps, but I LOVE this ring! I have no idea about the color or clarity of the stones but they look just as white as my G e-ring stone and I can''t see ANY inclusions in them with the naked eye. And it sparkles like CRAZY!
- My FIRST promise ring from FI! He gave me this for our first Christmas together and I adored this thing! I still do, but it has issues with keeping it''s stones. It''s missing one right now which is the third one that fell out. I kept taking it back to get the stones replaced each time they fell out, but after the third one fell out, FI just got me the other ring because he said I ''needed an upgrade''! He''s a good boy! I think this ring is 1/4 ctw but that''s all I know about it. Also from Zales and also pre-ps. But definitely lower quality than the other Zales ring. In comparison to my e-ring, the stones look a big yellow... But I still love it! And plan to keep it to pass down someday.
- 5 stone diamond ring in white gold. This belonged to my mother but she gave it to me a few years back. I know absolutely nothing about this ring and hardly ever wear it because of the yellow gold, but it''s still a beautiful piece!
- Ruby and diamond ring in yellow gold. This was a gift from my mother for my sweet 16! I wore it every day for probably two years before I started to like white gold a little bit more. I still wear it every once in a while but I think I may set it in white gold because I''d definitely get more wear out of it.
WHEW! Kay that''s all my pieces! But my birthday is right around the corner... So you never know! I may have something new to add to the collection soon!
