Do you have a peice of jewelry that has special meaning to you? I have four pieces, two that are worn and two that aren't.
The first for me is my Bike Ring. You've heard about this so I won't get into it again.
The second is a Broken Coin Medalion my wife gave me when we were going out together. It's nothing fancy, in fact it's kind of cheap looking being made of copper. I was wearing this when I realized that she was the one I loved. (Long story.) I no longer wear this but it is hanging in my wifes jewelry box alongside hers.
The third, also no longer worn, is a ring with the family crest on it. It's big, it's fancy and it's nothing I would ever truly wear but it does have a lot of history.
The fourth is what looks at first like a simple silver bracelet. In fact it is a six strand braid that has been in my family since the late middle ages. It has been handed down to the first male in each generation, and yes I do wear it.
My wife has a ring created by my father and myself. We call it a family ring. It is a Blue Saphire in a gold flower mount. We made several of them and call them the family ring. They have been given to my mother, my sister, my nieces, my brothers wife, my wife and one was buried with Mikki. (I still have the mold for the ring so more can be made.) Of those made so far only three are still in the family. The ones worn by my mother, my wife and one of my nieces. The rest have been pawned. (Other than the one buried with Mikki of course.)
My wife also has a Locket that even don't touch. This is a locket that has been passed down through my mothers side of the family for as many generations as my bracelet. She was given this by my mother when we were first married as part of the wedding promise. (Something old.) Most of the time it resides in our safe and is only taken out for special occasions.
How about you? Do you have a piece that means something special to you?
