It's amazing how much more powerful rings are when they are passed form generation to generation. Wow.

And a wonderful story with it...glad you enjoy it. My MIL gave me her mother's engagement ring, but from the man she didn't marry! So it is a 1915 or so ring with little wear. I wore it quite a bit at first, until one of the diamonds (there are 2 small ones) fell out! NEVER to be found! I had a great local jeweler find an old one in the same cut to replace it. So now I haven't worn it much... I never knew the woman, but from dh know she would 'read the cards' (tarot!) and came from Poland/Germany maybe 15 years before Hitler started all his horrible business. That’s a great ring!

Fri, 22 Jun 2007 13:20:22 +0000 http://chappysmom.com/2007/06/22/diamond/#comment-7797 For my high school graduation, my grandmother gave me a ring that my grandfather gave her. She couldn't wear it any more because of her arthritis, or I wouldn't have gotten it yet (that's what she told me!). At the time I couldn't wear it either, because my fingers were too small, but I'm 25 pounds heavier now, and it fits very nicely. For many years, I carried it with me in my jewelry box, keeping it safe and admiring it, and then when she became seriously ill about 3 1/2 years ago, I put it on to feel closer to her, and it fit! We lost her 3 years ago this month, and I wear her ring almost every day. It also has worn very thin on the side, from years and years on her finger.

One of the (few) things that I hate about living in Georgia is being separated from my mom and grandmothers. It's so great to hear about your antics with your mom. Thanks for sharing!
