Untraditional Mother’s Jewelry
When you think of mother’s jewelry, perhaps you’re envisioning a necklace that spells out MOM. One of my mother’s favorite gifts from me was a Mamma Mia! pendant in 14k gold. But the mother’s jewelry gift I remember best was not one you’d think of at all. One Christmas my father brought home a huge, very heavy package. None of us kids could lift it. My mother racked her brains to figure it out. When she removed the wrapping, she found a safe. Oh no, another “practical” gift. The combo was taped to the safe door. When she opened it, she found a ring box and inside that, a diamond engagement ring to make up for the one she’d never had.
