Staishy and I have decided to celebrate Nanny's life this year by wearing pieces of her jewelry every week and photographing it. I can speak for both of us when I say even though we just decided this a couple of weeks ago we wear a piece almost every day and have gotten complements on all of them. It makes us feel so special to have so many beautiful pieces and share something special that was hers-there is a sense of closeness and physicality to it. Some pieces are more valuable than others but they are all just as special to us. Some pieces we remember her wearing often and some I'm sure haven't seen the light of day in
Staishy looking beautiful in one of her favorite pieces. She has always had a guilty pleasure for hematite! :)
I couldn't decide which piece to upload this week so I cheated and picked a few of my favorites-so here is a taste of what's to come this year. Paul and I attended a wedding yesterday and I had chosen to wear the earrings that Nanny is wearing in the picture above but unfortunately I will need to get one repaired!

Daina! What a wonderful and unique way to remember your Nanny, it's something that only you and your sister would come up with! The picture you posted of her is just lovely, and it is obvious that you got many of your features from her.
