When I was dressing to go out to dinner with friends this evening (not a very dressy occasion but I wanted to look nice) I decided that gold colored jewelry would look fallish, appropriate for October, even though the high today was 86 degrees.
It was only after I clipped on my earrings and hung a gold chain with a topaz pendant around my neck that I realized each piece of jewelry I was wearing had a story attached.
The story of my gold wedding ring is obvious, although not everyone who sees it realizes that I've been married less that two years this time around. My wedding ring is practically brand new.
My gold earrings, beautifully made with posts and clips for security, are from the Gold Corner in Florence, Italy. I bought them when I was there in 2023. My first husband bought the gold chain for me for Christmas one year and the glorious topaz mounted in the pendant was one my father brought home from Brazil where he was stationed during WWII.
I am not a collector of antiques for antiques sake but I do like things that tell a story.
