J is for Jewelry

All of my prized possessions are jewelry. They include a silver chain necklace that belonged to my father, a pair of diamond earrings that he gave me for my sixth birthday, and a real gold 1881 coin turned necklace that belonged to my grandfather (pictured below).

Being a lifelong ‘girly-girl,’ I’ve always loved jewelry. Many of the first gifts I received was jewelry – a locket with my initial on it, a charm bracelet, and a pair of pearl earrings. I find there is nothing that is more special than someone going out and taking the time to pick me out a beautiful piece of jewelry.

While I love delicate jewelry, I also love costume jewelry. My grandmother has given me tons of vintage necklaces that burst off the strand with huge beads and bright colors. Forever21 is usually a drool-fest for me, and it’s all I can do not to buy up the entire jewelry section when I go.

Jewelry organization is extremely important. I have tons of ways to display, show-off, and organize my jewelry. For years I kept my necklaces and bracelets jumbled in a box in my dresser, but now that I’ve organized it all, I can’t imagine it any other way.

Hopefully I’ve provided some inspiration for your own jewelry organizing!

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

1 John 3:1-3
