Years ago, long before I was married myself, my grandmother gave me her engagement ring. I had asked her for it when I was a young girl {please excuse my lack of tact} and she didn’t forget. It was wearing thin and she decided to stop wearing so it would be preserved for me. Crazy, right? She truly was a one-of-a-kind. I have kept it safe, but tucked away. Months ago I came it across it when I was moving accessories into my closet. I decided it shouldn’t be tucked away. I wanted to wear it. However, I have freakishly small hands and it was too large for my finger. After checking with my mom, I had the ring resized.
When we travel to Italy next month, I will be wearing my grandmother’s ring with two whisper thin gold bands from Catbird. {That makes my heart happy.} I have been stalking Catbird for quite sometime, so when I decided to resize the ring I was thrilled to be able to buy simple bands to wear with it. The bands I ordered are stacking rings, meant to be worn together in multiples. The Mignon Memory Ring and the Twisted Stacker Ring are perfect compliments to my grandmother’s delicate diamond and gold ring. When I slip this special stack on my finger, I smile. If she were still here, she would give me a big hug and tell me a story about her ring or my grandfather. I treasure my memories of her and I treasure her ring.
Do you have jewelry tucked away from someone dear to you? I urge you to take it out. Make it part of your life. Wear it and love it!
