Here's mine--I think it's safe to say nobody else has this one! It's my great uncle's scholarship medal from high school. He was a lovely man, so smart and talented and sweet. He used to wear it on his watch chain. I now wear it as a pendant. I wish I'd asked him about it while he was alive--my mom found it among my grandparents' things after they died, and gave it to me. (The image is not of my great uncle, but of the man the award was named after. My uncle was just the kid who won it one year.)
Oh wow. What an incredibly special and totally one-of-a-kind heirloom!!
Goodness, sure wish my school awards had come from big jewellery houses… Or any jewellery houses…
