Wearing my aquamarine necklace this morning.



With 3 of my antique bands.
Bubbalah is resting in her jewelry box for now.

Oh I love your aquamarine necklace, very beachy @missy! And your bands are beautiful.

I love this thread, it's sentimental, funny, beautiful, lovely etc! the stories are romantic, interesting, heartwarming, heart wrenching.. I have a garnet ring but all my jewelry is in my box at the bank, it was my sister's ring, she wore that ring for 55 years mostly on, she also had a jade engagement ring my niece has.

My grandmother gave me a turquoise ring and my sister a red garnet ring, I loved my turquoise but lost it eons ago, but not my sister she kept hers for her whole life, so when she died I asked my niece if I could have it, and she was joyful to give it to me as it wasn't her type of jewelry style, it's a mite small for me, but as soon as I put it on, I knew, this was MY sister's ring, I had lost my ring decades earlier I thought my sister would be mad and she wanted her daughter to have it.. so I try to convince my niece to take it back, I gave my niece her great grandmother's engagement ring, I thought my grandmother would have been happy had she ever met her great granddaughter and my grandmother would be very proud of me.. I think this and I believe it is true. Here's my grandmother's ring, typical Art Deco, 1 small transitional cut diamond and two synthetic blue sapphires in 18K white gold.. My grandmother loved this ring with her whole being, this I do remember. she died when I was 13.

I love this ring and your story @relate what a special ring.

Wearing my antique sapphire diamond earrings today.
These are one of my favorite pairs of earrings and very romantic.

It was another impulse purchase. We went to Lambertville to spend the day where my favorite antique estate dealer is located and when we walked in to their shoppe these earrings called to me.
I said no I can't because they were not even near any gift giving occasion and I think I had just gotten earrings a short while before and they were definitely not within any budget I would have given myself. So after drooling over them and chatting with the lovely ladies there (who as always offered to hold them while I thought about them) we walked around the town and I couldn't stop thinking about them and my dh kept saying I should get them.

So we went back and I did. And it was one of the best earring purchases because I wear them often. I love blue and my wardrobe is made up of lots of blue (and black) so these are very versatile earrings indeed.

Those earrings are stunners! Your husband knew you really loved them and he wanted you to be happy. Very romantic story!

This was another anniversary gift. My husband bought me the necklace and earrings, and my mom and dad got me the ring. The 7 drops represent the day of our wedding, and my husband and daughter's birth month. I always envisioned giving this to my daughter as her "something blue" on her wedding day.

Stunning!

Ok folks I'm behind...here is Day 5. This was the first really meaningful piece of jewelry by boyfriend, now husband gave me. The diamond is super super small but sparkly and I just love the hearts. I've had it sized to my pinky and it's the one pinky ring I can wear comfortably.

@missy, beautiful blue sapphires in those earrings of yours. I don't even have pierced ears but I am envious of your earring collection! Also I'm not sure how I missed your aquamarine necklace and bands but all of it is stunning, love that soft blue color of the aquas and I'm a ring girl so always swoon over bands like yours.

@voce, what a cool project, can't wait to see the mandarin duck in its completed form!

@Bluegemz, beautiful Tahitian pearls, how wonderful that you can wear them and always remember that vacation. Love pieces that bring back such happy memories.

@Diamond Girl 21, gorgeous set, almost reminds me of that scene in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts opens the gorgeous presentation box to reveal that amazing ruby necklace. This just reminds me of glamour and those occasions to get dressed to the nines!

@bling_dream19, adore your hearts, what a sweet ring and I bet it makes a perfect pinky ring.

Today was the funeral for Grandma, although she wasn't my grandmother by blood she meant so much to me.

Her favorite color was purple so I'm sharing this gold and amethyst bracelet that was a gift from DH way back when. I'll be honest, it probably needs a good cleaning but I'm tired so this is all I got.

Stephanie, I am so sorry for your and your family's loss.

Lovely bracelet. Purple is the color of royals.

Thank you! I do love this set, but I don't wear the necklace very often. I get excited when I have a reason to wear it.

Stunning!

I'm so sorry for your loss. The memorial you set up with her picture and your bracelet is lovely.

Thanks! I really enjoy wearing it.
The pearls give it an amazing bumpy texture that is so interesting when you hold it in your hand.
I often wonder about the original owner........

The original owner would be happy you that you love and enjoy it. It's lovely.

My husband bought this for me on our honeymoon. To be honest, the diamonds are not the greatest, but I love the amethyst. It produces really pretty blue, red and pink flashes that my other amethysts lack.
