<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 1463208, member: 8708&quot;]Every family is different but two of my most prized possessions are rings from my grandmother. I would have been devastated if my parents had sold them off assuming I wouldn&#039;t want them. Sadly most of her jewellery was lost in a house burglary after my grandparents died so those two rings are the only link I have to her. </p><p>My OHs mother sold off his grandfathers gold watch and he&#039;s never quite forgiven her.</p><p>What girl wouldn&#039;t want a collection of beautiful and valuable jewellery left to her?. If they don&#039;t like it they can sell it as at least a gold or diamond inheritance is unlikely to devalue. </p><p>I buy what I love and the girls look through my jewellery and tell me which bits they like so there is a shared interest.</p><p>I think it&#039;s a lovely thing to do to leave a child some pieces they have seen you wear. As I say, if they don&#039;t like them or have no interest they can sell them.Although I may spin in my grave if they sell those two rings <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie63" alt=":mask:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I don&#039;t mind why people post on here, their reasons for wanting information are mostly not important to me or any of my business, what&#039;s important to me is receiving (and very,very occasionally on red letter days being able to add to)the wealth of knowledge that is so generously given and carries on being given often long after some OPs have disappeared and probably sold that ring,chair,coin or necklace. </p><p>This forum is so full of amazing people who all throw their phenomenal knowledge into the mix to help others find out about their gems and so importantly treat all the posters and their &#039;treasures&#039; with kindness and respect.</p><p>Not so sure I&#039;m looking forwards to sorting out my fathers enormous workshop or my mothers antique teapot and feeding cup collection when the time comes though......<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
