Day 10!

This is a ring I bought off Goodwill for DH, when I showed it to him he said "Oh that's cool, it has our initials" so I waited for a minute to see if he was kidding and then had to say "Dear, those are YOUR initials lol!"

It really is cool! Does he wear it?
I love signet rings. I used to have my Nana's, but somehow lost it during a move.

I apologize for posting this again, but it is one of my most romantic and special pieces. It looks yellow in the pics, but it's 18kt rose gold. It has my mother's engagement diamond, my grandmother's engagement and wedding band diamonds, a diamond my dad gave me when I was a teen, and the diamonds from my husband's wedding band.

This is really beautiful!
And the family diamonds make it so special!

We are getting close, y’all! I must include this old, old snow flake Zuni cuff which just feels like connection and love through and through. This is my absolute favorite native piece. It was a very romantic gift because of how we found it and what it symbolizes.

This is still one of the most romantic, well executed, prettiest designs I’ve ever seen. It’s great to see it here! I hope you’re enjoying it!

The amount of work someone put into this is just amazing, work of art for sure and what's better than wearable art?

Thanks, @stracci2000 ! It really has been interesting...,of ALL of my jewelry, I have had more real life admiration about this cuff, including offers to buy it off of my wrist for double what we paid. But, I would NEVER sell this piece!

Thank you! Absolutely...the workmanship dedication is spiritually impressive in some native pieces. This Highlights why I sometimes feel at times a hollowness in some contemporary definitions of ‘precious’ in jewelry.

I agree. I get so annoyed when people scoff at sterling jewelry or mixed metal pieces. As if they are inferior to diamonds and gold. They are not. The workmanship in Native American pieces, Taxco silver, Peruvian filigree, and other pieces from around the world, made by Native crafts people are stunning in their own right.

Yes! I can completely relate and am relieved when others ‘get’ that! It irritates me....Same goes with agates and quartz, turquoise etc as compared with ‘precious’ stones! They are beautiful and amazing in their own right!

@PreRaphaelite that is so kind of you! Thank you so much! Yes, I really do enjoy wearing this one. The facet pattern on these vintage diamonds is unique and lovely. I wish I could capture it better with my camera.

This is the piece (posted in TPF) that sparked my love affair with Native American jewelry! I’m still looking for something similar... just sensational!

I forgot to share yesterday so here was my romantic bling pairing from Monday.

A sweet kitty diamond pendant I bought a long time ago from Dover I believe.

And also wore my ankle bracelet A gift from my mom decades ago...when I was just a teen or adolescent. It has my initial M on the front and Love, Mom on the back. Very sweet.

Diamond flower clusters are always romantic.

A personal favorite of mine! Love all diamonds clustered. Its clusterlicious @stracci2000 :love:
And I appreciate your creative photo taking. A selfie on one's neck is challenging and the photos I end up getting are quite unclear. So kudos to you for taking the perfect photos!

I've been trying hard to keep my photos interesting!
There are so many props and weird old things around my house......

I tried enlisting Oliver’s help but he was only interested in eating my necklace. :roll:

This thread is swoon some! I puffy heart all the prettiest & the stories behind them!

Generally my husband isn't a jewellery giving man. I have my wedding rings & some other bits that he's given to me, but most of those were driven by me. But on the birth of our eldest daughter he surprised me with the hot pink unheated sapphire ring, with her name & DOB engraved inside. On the birth of our second daughter, he rammed my full eternity ring onto my very swollen finger the next day. Both of these rings were shocking in their beauty AND in the fact that I hadn't asked for them! On my first Mothers Day with both of the girls, they each bought me (at the grand ages of 19 months & 2 months respectively!) a Tiffany platinum DBTY each. So these are my most romantic pieces.

Gorgeous pieces. All of them. And of course the most gorgeous aspect is that your DH wanted you to have them and did it himself. Amazing. He’s a keeper and no question your true jewel. As you are for him. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the ultimate pave diamond heart necklace!
It is similar to the one Elizabeth Montgomery wore in nearly every episode of Bewitched. As a little kid obsessed with jewelry, I used to look forward to seeing it on her neck!

Reminds me of the beautiful diamond heart pendant worn by Elizabeth Montgomery in the early years of Bewitched. Always loved that piece.
