Call me sentimental, but my most cherished piece of jewelry is a beautiful vintage lucite neckchain that contains a black & white miniature photo of someone’s beloved boxer pup. I don’t know the history of the item, but someone loved their dog very much and I guess (as an animal lover) that it touches my heart! Sometimes when I take an evening power walk, I wear the necklace and ‘take him for a walk’ lol.
I have a bracelet- even if its not worth much in dollars is precious to me in my heart- my grandma loved it and wore it and its the funkies thing I own and I love it becuase she loved it
When my grandmother passed she left me $80 to buy something for myself that I would always remember her by. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but it was a fortune to me when I was 12 yrs old.
I purchased a gold and jade ring which I still have today, 33 years later! I love that ring and every time I look at it I think of my grandmother!
Thanks

My favorite piece has to be the mother’s ring my children gave me the Christmas after their father passed away from wounds he received in Iraq. My birthstone and Jeff’s(my husband) are side by side with my daughter Laura’s birthstone next to mine and my son Alex was next to his father’s. As long as I have it, it feels like we are all still together somehow.
I have a beautiful fiery opal ring that I inherited from my grandmother. I always admired it when she wore it and she gave it to me before she passed away. It is awesome and it makes me think of her whenever I see it. Thanks!
I feel kinda out of place with mine. I don’t have a lot of jewelry that was given to me from the heart. Most of my jewelry were basic gifts that related to my interests or myself. But I received a music note necklace from my sister this past Christmas. It’s a very simple piece, but it means a lot to me. She and I have a deep love and appreciation for music, and this was my first piece of jewelry that was music related. I’d given my sister a few in the past, so I really appreciated it when she gave it to me.
My most treasured piece of jewelry are the earrings my grandmother wore on her wedding day that my mother gave to me when I got married.
My most treasured piece of jewelry is my wedding ring. It stands for all the love my husband and I have shared throughout our decades of marriage.
My first Christmas with my boyfriend, he asked me about a thousand times what I wanted for a present. I knew he wasn’t making much money at the time and I didn’t want to put any pressure on him to buy something particular that he mightn’t be able to afford. So, I laughingly told him “Oh, you know what I like- things that are cute, or pink, or shiny, or sentimental. Or all of the above”
To which he replied, “Ah. So you want a pink baby penguin in a rhinestone collar, then?” And I laughed and said yes, that would be perfect. It became a running joke.
When Christmas finally rolled around, he presented me with a big box, which I figured was probably something practical (it was a really big box, and, well, he’s a guy). So imagine my surprise when I opened it to find a (stuffed) pink baby penguin in a pink rhinestone collar- and hung below the collar, a shimmering pink sapphire heart on a chain.
It’s not the biggest or flashiest piece of jewelry I own, and he’s since given me presents that cost far more. But knowing how carefully he saved and planned for that little pink heart will always give it a special place in mine.

I don’t have any jewelry, I only buy it as gifts for my girlfriend, mom, etc.
As far back as I can remember my mother had this vintage cameo necklace. I remember being about 5 years old and begging her for it. She said she would keep it safe for me until my wedding night. 19 years of waiting has only strengthened my love of this necklace. One day I hope to pass it along to my future daughter or daughter in law and hope they cherish it as much as I do.
I have a birthstone ring, that is precious to me because my parents gave it to me when I was a teenager.
Thank you!

My most treasured piece of jewelry is my wedding ring/engagement ring. I dont wear a ton of jewelry daily but, this one of course goes with me everywhere. My husband and I picked the components of the ring and had it made. I love the fact that we both had a part in making the ring.
My favorite piece of jewelry is a little sterling silver cameo ring that my mom gave me when I was 12

A broken engraved watch.
I have some long danglily earrings that were my great grandmothers, they are my very favorite because its the only the I have been able to keep to remember her by!
My husband bought me a mothers necklace several years ago. I never wanted one of these but this one is really nice. He had it designed himself and I will always treasure it.
The birthday after my grandmother passed, my father handed me a tiny gold box with a little white bow on it. I was overcome with emotion when I opened it — inside was my grandmother’s wedding ring. My grandparents didn’t have a lot of money so this wasn’t an extravagant item, but to me this ring is priceless. The ring is something that can never be replaced so I don’t wear it everyday, just on days when I need strength or special family occasions.
Mine is a wedding ring from my grandmother, it’s the only piece of jewelery I have from her and reminds me of her when I look at it

I wear my hubby’s baby ring.
My most treasured piece is the promise ring my dad gave to my mother before they got engaged.
My most treasured piece of jewelry is an oval gold locket given to me by my grandmother. She wore it everyday since she was 16 years old when she fled Greece and took a boat by herself to Ellis Island carrying nothing with her but the clothes on her back and a loaf of bread. She landed in NYC speaking no English, alone in a strange country and had to start her life from scratch. She wore this locket for over 60 years and it represents her strength, perseverance, love and faith and how she overcame so many obstacles throughout her life. I wear the locket now and plan to give it to my daughter in a few years when she is old enough to understand all that it represents.
The silver ring that my fiancee gave me years ago, it was his way of letting me know he was serious about our relationship. My engagement ring is wonderful and I love it but, it meant so much to him to give me that little silver ring that I can’t bear to take it off
my gold wedding band is my most precious because it represents love..
My most cherished piece of jewelry is my emerald and diamond earrings my husband bought me for our first Christmas.
The piece I treasure most is my grandmother’s wedding band, which I inherited when she died. It’s a thin platinum band with tiny diamonds, and it fits me perfectly.
Would have to be my wedding band

My most cherished piece of jewelry is a bubblegum machine type adjustable ring with a big Cracker Jack diamond in it. My disabled son saved his money and purchased it for me at his school’s bazaar over ten years ago. It makes me smile, cry, and realize just how lucky I am to have him in my life.
My wedding ring is my most cherished piece and it’s something I wear every day.
My husband worked many months of overtime and even took on a second job for 7 months to pay for this beautiful, precious piece of jewelry. He also personally had it designed with my preferences in mind. It took him 2 years to finally pay for it. This irreplaceable, priceless momento of our love is my wedding ring!! Thank you for the contest!

It would be too difficult to choose one piece, since so many have special meaning to me, but I would have to go with my engagement ring. My husband used a diamond from one of his grandfather’s rings for the stone and had it hand made by a friend of the family who is a jeweler.
My engagement ring. My husband had a diamond claddagh specially made in New York, and hid it all the way to our vacation in Ireland.
My most treasured piece of jewelry is a silver bracelet I received from my best friend. She has been my BFF since we were 10 yrs old (43 yrs!) and we have stood up for each other at our weddings and baptized each other’s children. She has a bracelet, her daughter, me, my daughter and our other good friend Kathy. The five of us share this bond and we call it our “Sister hood of the silver bracelets.” We wear it always and will always think of each other while we wear it.
Nice!
a pair of my mothers earrings…they are plain but I wear them almost everyday…it lets me remember her.

My mothers white gold band is my most treasured piece. I wear it every day in her memory.
My wedding band. It symbolizes 23 years of love and commitment.
