I LOVE THIS QUOTE! It could not speak more truth or hold so much applicability to my life. It reminds me of the times where jewelry is a big part of my life. To put this in perspective, I think back to when I was 10 years old and getting my ears pierced. I wore those little gold studs like a badge of honor. Then there is one of my most precious memories and cherished piece of jewelry - a pair of hoops that were my grandmother's and given to me after she passed away. She had them made out of pure gold nuggets. I believe to this day that is the reason I love hoops so much because when I wear a pair I can carry the memories of her with me. Lastly, of course there's the diamond ring on my finger that reminds me of the day my husband got down on one knee on that beach so many years ago and asked me to be his wife or even our wedding day when we exchanged rings. The story of my husband and myself began the best chapter of my life. My family! And this is where I tell you a little bit about my life.
