When I was little I liked to play with my mom's jewelry (like most girls, I'm sure). "Play" may not be the right word, though... I mostly just liked to look at her jewelry. We weren't rich; she didn't have loads of diamonds & strings of pearls or anything. There was some inherited costume jewelry, her high school class ring & a few nice presents from my dad. It was all beautiful to me, though.
One of my favorites was a simple necklace: a tiny diamond atop a blue star sapphire. Before I got married, my mom gave me the necklace. It was my "something blue" for my wedding. I don't wear jewelry often, although I still love it and occasionally purchase some, but today I had the urge to wear my star sapphire. I doubt anyone else takes much notice of the small pendant but I sure feel special wearing it.
