Day one
I’m not a big jewelry girl. I really never have been. As a young girl I begged to get my ears pierced. I got them pierced when I was 5 and then I found out the hard way that I was allergic to anything but gold posts. I could never wear the cute little trendy earrings of my 80’s generation. Insert sad sigh…not so much...At the time this wasn’t the case. I also could never keep a pair of earrings. I lost pretty much every pair. In fact, now as an adult I wear a pair of small diamond earrings with screw on posts. I lost the other half to the previous diamond pair without them. Lesson learned.
I wear two rings. Of course, the most important is the ring I recently got for our ten year anniversary. My first ring, my wedding ring, is tucked into a little box that Maddie made me for Mother’s Day last year. The other ring I wear, is a silver band from the Atocha. The Atocha, as in the ship that sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida. My mom bought me the ring when I was in middle school, maybe. I don’t know I’ve had it forever. The treasure hunters had a display at a local jewelry store and that is how we got it.
I don’t change jewelry daily, or to match my outfits. I’m not sure why. I just don’t have that much interest in it. I’m not a big change sort of person. Once I like something, I pretty much keep it. And I guess that would hold true for daily life too. My friends, I have a few really good ones that I’ve had for ages. I’ve been ordering the same meal at a La Posta since I was three years old. So, I guess I keep it simple, and choose pieces that are important to me.
