Earrings? A wedding ring? A necklace? What's your favorite piece of jewelry? Credit: Oster Jewelers
We held a contest last month to win a gorgeous pair of earrings from Oster Jewelers, which prompted us to ask the question: What’s your favorite piece of jewelry?
We just had to share some of the responses. Please add to the fun by posting your own fave in the comments field below!
“I love my wedding ring because it is full of diamonds and looks vintage, like my grandmother’s.” — Laura
“The heart ring my father made for me out of dental gold when I was in junior high. Yes, I still wear it.” — Tasha
“My Mikimoto pearls, are (were) my favorite piece of jewlery. I lost one last 4th of July… I was devistated! I still think about them.” — Virginia
“My pearls – my husband had a choice of gifts honoring his 25 years at his place of employment and instead of choosing something for himself (like a mountain bike or TV or grill) he chose the pearls for me!” — Laurie
“My favorite piece of jewelry would be my class ring!” — Mary
“A vintage, double-strand necklace that I found at a flea market. It’s an unusual combination of silvery-gray and gold — neutral but not boring. It fell apart a few weeks ago, and I’m determined to get it re-strung.” — Margie
“My grandmother’s platinum and single dimond ring, one of the very few things, and only peice of jewelry she was able to escape Nazi Germany with in 1939.” — Lisa
“A necklace made out of one of my grandma’s many earrings … It’s gorgeous and I always get compliments on it – she was definitely a lady with great taste!” — Morgan
“I have a set of rubies from my grandmother, it’s my birth stone. It’s set in that old school flower shape and I have them in earings, a ring and necklace and a bracelet. I wear them with something very plain and they take over the outfit. Very loud, very my grandma!” — Kate
“My first attempt at a sterling box ring while learning to silversmith remains my favorite ring. If only for sentimental reasons, I wear it and recognize that time and significant effort went into making it gorgeous and unique.” — Jamie
“A necklace from my husband quoting Winnie-the-Pooh: ‘If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you’.” — Lori
“Having always loved lapel pins before ‘Sex and the City’ and Madeline Albright made them cool: a lapel pin from Tiffany in the shape of a little chickadee, complete with little gold spikes that look like the fuzzy down, and an emerald eye. In MY collection, however: a faux Cartier-like lapel pin in the shape of a rhinoceros covered in rhinestones with a sapphire eye. Both no more than two inches long.” — Alpine B.
“My wedding ring, of course!” — Sara
