gold earrings, unique jewelry Sitting on the couch adjacent from my Grandma, she is nothing but smiles after not seeing me for a good five months. After we catch up on what’s going on in both of our lives and she has heated up some roast she had in the freezer, I ask her about the gold earrings she is wearing. They grabbed my attention as soon as I saw them during the initial hug. I can tell these gold earrings are old. She is past the point of buying any new unique jewelry. Her many years on earth have resulted in a large collection of jewelry all marked with a story.

She smiles and says they were given to her by my grandpa the day after they completed building the house I am now sitting in. It was a huge achievement not only because it was their first place but also because it is where they raised their family. My grandpa has since passed away and the gold earrings are a reminder of their life together. I had no idea until asking, which is why I never hesitate to ask about unique jewelry.
