My pearl ring is one of my most prized possessions. I wear this ring every single day, I’m kind of too scared to take it off. It has a special meaning to me since I was given it by my grandmother. Once she passes away, it will hold even more of a special meaning. I remember the day that I was looking through her jewelry, like I often did, and came across this ring. I really like pearls and so I asked her if I could wear it. She ended up telling me to just keep it. The top of the pearl has lost some of its luster, but it’s still beautiful! I get compliments almost everyday on the ring and it makes me really happy. The pearl is surrounded by 3 diamonds on either side and it all rests on the gold ring. I would really like to restore the shine to the top since that would bring it back to its original state when I got it, but I don’t know how! If you have any tips, let me know! My grandma is the best woman I know. She is the matriarch of our family, always keeping us in line at family gatherings! Her full name is Bonnie Bell Bennett Price, and I plan on getting “bonniebell” tattooed on me someday to pay homage to her. She will be 87 this year, and has lived an extraordinary life. She bounces back from injuries quicker than myself! Every time I look at the ring, I am reminded of her beauty, grace, and bravery.
I really enjoyed this piece. It reminds me of how I, too, used to sift through my mom's jewelry. She had some really pretty pieces, and I used to volunteer to clean them. I miss my mom, and you are right about the keepsake taking on more significance as time passes. My mom gave me her engagement ring, and she gave my daughter her wedding band as a wedding gift. They are really special as they belonged to her mother and they were designed and selected by her father, a jeweler. Save yours to pass on! Thank you for sharing!
