Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Jewels are not always worn

Write about a piece of jewelry that has special significance to you.

I have several pieces of jewelry that remind me of special times in life. Three of them were bought for me by my daughter.

My daughter and I were at a college type flea market. There was a ring there I really liked. It had a ridiculously low price tag on it. The price was so low I actually quizzed the dealer to make sure I was reading it right. Assured of the price I started counting all my change and came up a couple dollars short. My daughter chipped in and we came up with the proper amount.

I think the ring was actually made for a man. I cut the band and sized it down to fit my finger. It fits my finger well.

On the ring there is a figure of an eagles nest. There are eggs in the nest. An Eagle in flight is landing on the edge of the nest. It is a striking scene. Since I never had a graduation ring from the college I consider this my signature graduation ring. The ring is made of pewter.

My oldest son gave me a pewter book mark. I really liked it and used it constantly but, it was stolen. My youngest son brought me a metal designer book mark from a vacation he took. Although they aren’t exactly jewelry they are special and something I use often.

I have many pieces of jewelry that were given me by family members at different times in life that remind me of different life events.
