To Whom will you leave your diamond(s)?

[Phoenix]

When my mom passed away, she didn't have a will (things like that didn't/ don't get discussed as far as my parent(s) are/ were concerned, cos it's bad luck according to Asian traditions) and she had quite a few pieces of diamond jewellery. A lot of them though were given to me because they came from me originally (gifted to her), and I subsequently gave most of them to my sisters who in turn gave most of those to their own daughers.

When I go, if we still don't have any children (adopted or otherwise), all of my diamonds will go to my sisters and nieces, with one particular piece going to a close friend (I kind of promised her). My husband's family will not get any of the diamonds, they will get some money if my husband also passes away/ passes away after I do (not that they really need it). This is our current plan.

If it turned out that we had children, most of the diamonds would go to them along with the bulk of our money (everything being divided equally betwen the children and the pieces would be divided according to their monetary/ appraised values, unless someone specifically requested or expressed an interest in a piece or pieces in which case such items would go to them).

I have 2 daughters and 1 son....I have my e-ring and my eternity band....I showed them to my daughters and asked them if they had a choice which would they choose? To my surprise they each wanted a different ring...so no conflict there (for now). My older daughter chose the eternity band (which makes sense since she's not too much of a girly girl and likes simpler things). My younger wanted the BIG BLING e-ring...she's def. the girly girl and more like her momma

As for my son..he will get all the love in the world

but he won't be getting any of my wedding set. I've seen too many family heirlooms given to girlfriends and fiances...then when the relationship went south...so did the rings with the ex. I'd rather keep the rings in the family and know my daughters will keep them safe. NOW IF I get another diamond band down the road then that will be for my son...

Not that I have anything of worth right now, but down the line I plan to pass my rings to my daughter if I have one. If I pass without children, I''d give them to my sisters. Definitely would keep them in the family!

I have 2 sons and it will go to them equally, they can do whatever they want with them, I have jewerly but its not a large collection, I do have a couple of sentimental pieces I would like them to keep to give to thier wives or daughters, but other then that then can sell it, keep it, reset it, I dont care.

If I died tomorrow, they''d go to my cousin and, eventually, her two young girls (they were my moh and flower girls in our wedding last year).

Hopefully someday I will have a daughter or niece that would enjoy them.

One day I would pass them onto my children (sons or daughters). As of right now? I have no idea.

I''ve been thinking about this lately. I''m not sure what I would do if I outlived my sister and my best friend (likely), and my only niece is not at all interested in my jewelery or my extensive collection of antique china teaware!
