Ten pieces of jewelry I never wore

[oncrutchesrightnow]

This is a de-clutter-reset project, made from old jewelry pieces that I never wore but that are sentimental keepsakes. The phoenix can slide on or off the bottom of the princess diamond.



Top to bottom, left to right:

- Mom’s faux pearl bracelet that she wore on her wedding day
- Wonderfully wonky rising phoenix painstakingly crafted in fabulous copper by my daughter when she was eleven years old*
- Blue topaz heart bought on a trip to visit my husband’s parents
- Natural emerald my father got for me when I was about twelve
- Emerald of unknown origin sourced from the far reaches of an Amazon warehouse
- Natural princess cut diamond from my husband, F color, VS2 clarity, a little over one carat, about 1.10 ratio which makes it fashionably tilted
- Mom’s peridot earrings
- Mom’s pearl
- Perifaux pendant that Mom got for me when she visited Hawaii

* = Denotes favorite piece

Thanks for looking!

Thanks. Yes, I wore it with a pink-purple-black pattern dress and the colors were so complimentary.
