#JOTW Show your romantic pieces for 14 days of February!

20200205_223545.jpg

This was another anniversary gift. My husband bought me the necklace and earrings, and my mom and dad got me the ring. The 7 drops represent the day of our wedding, and my husband and daughter's birth month. I always envisioned giving this to my daughter as her "something blue" on her wedding day.

Stunning!
 
Ok folks I'm behind...here is Day 5. This was the first really meaningful piece of jewelry by boyfriend, now husband gave me. The diamond is super super small but sparkly and I just love the hearts. I've had it sized to my pinky and it's the one pinky ring I can wear comfortably. 20200206_173741.jpg20200206_173813.jpg
 
@missy, beautiful blue sapphires in those earrings of yours. I don't even have pierced ears but I am envious of your earring collection! Also I'm not sure how I missed your aquamarine necklace and bands but all of it is stunning, love that soft blue color of the aquas and I'm a ring girl so always swoon over bands like yours.

@voce, what a cool project, can't wait to see the mandarin duck in its completed form!

@Bluegemz, beautiful Tahitian pearls, how wonderful that you can wear them and always remember that vacation. Love pieces that bring back such happy memories.

@Diamond Girl 21, gorgeous set, almost reminds me of that scene in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts opens the gorgeous presentation box to reveal that amazing ruby necklace. This just reminds me of glamour and those occasions to get dressed to the nines!

@bling_dream19, adore your hearts, what a sweet ring and I bet it makes a perfect pinky ring.
 
Today was the funeral for Grandma, although she wasn't my grandmother by blood she meant so much to me.

Her favorite color was purple so I'm sharing this gold and amethyst bracelet that was a gift from DH way back when. I'll be honest, it probably needs a good cleaning but I'm tired so this is all I got.

Stephanie, I am so sorry for your and your family's loss.

Lovely bracelet. Purple is the color of royals.
 
Many thanks, everyone:D

Thank you! I do love this set, but I don't wear the necklace very often. I get excited when I have a reason to wear it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The memorial you set up with her picture and your bracelet is lovely.

Oh, so sorry about Grandma! She was a beautiful lady.

I think this pendant watch is Old World romantic. Sterling, enamel and seed pearls.

@stracci2000 What a beautiful and unique piece! I love the seed pearls against that gorgeous blue....really lovely.

Thanks! I really enjoy wearing it.
The pearls give it an amazing bumpy texture that is so interesting when you hold it in your hand.
I often wonder about the original owner........

My husband bought this for me on our honeymoon. To be honest, the diamonds are not the greatest, but I love the amethyst. It produces really pretty blue, red and pink flashes that my other amethysts lack.

That is a rich beautiful color. Love the ring on you. ❤️
 
Beautiful, lovely wonderful pieces and stories! Ok, day 7....this red spinel ring which my husband and adult son spontaneously bought for me last summer. Really special to me because of that.

Beautiful!
 
Great thread and I’ve so enjoyed all of the sentimental and blingy pieces.

In keeping with the Valentine’s Day theme I want to add a piece that has very little monetary value but is heavy on the sentimental side. My darling niece had this heart made for me with my beloved mother’s handwriting. I am actually planning to replicate it in a fine metal oblong disc which I would wear much more often. It just gives me all the warms to wear my mom’s words close to my heart. ♥

My husband was so serious about finding the perfect diamond when he was ready to propose. Looking back, it’s almost funny because I would have said yes to anything. I lucked out with a beautiful diamond and my perfect partner. ❤️

I found this sterling Deco bracelet at Goodwill. It has three citrine-like glass gems set into the stations. It has a really strange clasp.
