That sounds like a very cool, very special gift!

I don't really wear too much jewelry but I have a lot of pieces from local artists/crafters. But I almost always wear my mikimoto studs. I have a few different mikimoto pieces but I always wear the studs.

I love diamonds, pearls, emeralds, sapphires, tanzanite, amethyst, garnets and other stones that are vibrant. Daily I wear earrings (diamonds or pearls), my wedding band (diamond anniversary band) and engagement ring, and bangle bracelets with a couple of tennis bracelets (a present from my father when they first began to be popular back in the mid-eighties).

Much of my jewelry was from my family with some lovely pieces added as gifts from my husband. I usually do not wear costume jewelery but have admired a few Edwardian and Victorian pieces.

I adore jewelry but with my arthritis it has become more difficult to wear much.

Love the old costume stuff from the forties and fifties. Collect more than I wear, but I do enjoy wearing my brooches.

I have a number of Trifari and Weiss pieces that were my grandmother's.

I collect rhinestone butterfly brooches. I have a glass case that I display them in because they truly are pieces of art. I don't wear them very often though.

My mom collects costume jewelry and has some lovely pieces. My very favorite thing is a stunning blue Weiss necklace that just blazes with light. I'm sure many of the pieces will eventually come to me (I only have one sibling, a sister), but they'll probably just live in a box.
