Pink Stone - Gold Artistic Rim Pendant
It is so very obvious that ladies are born with jewelries in
their genes. And so am I. I love anything and everything in gold. And here is
another piece of gold design. It is a semi precious pink stone held in artistic
designed rim of gold.
This pendant has some sentiments attached along with it.
Ladies are real emotional fools when it comes to gold. :-P. I have a short
narration of how sentiments keep flowing from generation to generation when it
comes to gold and traditions.
Story No.1: My mom and her mother (I mean my grandmother)
Story No.2: Me and my mom.
So get ready for the emotional sentimental story narration
session. :-P
Emotions and sentiments hidden behind the pink and gold -
It so happened that my mom had received a small scholarship
amount of cash when in her higher school days. To that amount, my grandfather added
some more money and bought a red stoned pendant (similar one as shown in this post)
for my mom. My mother treasured the jewel like a huge life time fortune. But,
unfortunately for various reasons it could not be a part of her bridal jewelry
collection. And I believe this left behind a scar in my mother’s mind.
And then eventually, after I was born, as a tradition, everybody
blessed me with tiny amounts of money. The figure, it seems tiny now. Around 28
years ago (I revealed my approximate age. :-P), people blessed the new born
baby with money ranging from Rs.10 – Rs.50. Yes, my tiny fists were stuffed
with rolled notes of Rs.10 or some multiples of 10. And my mother collected and
collected all those blessings. And one fine day she converted the collection of
blessings in to this beautiful piece of pendant.
My mother has faint memories of the gold weight and the
price of this pendant. She says, the gold net weight is hardly upto 4 grams and
it costed roughly about Rs.700-Rs.800 then….. !!!!!!!!!!!! :-O. That is all !!!!!!!
No idea why she bought a pink stoned piece instead of red
stone. And surprisingly, pink is my favorite color. And as it had to happen, I
used this firs jewelry of mine like crazy throughout my pre marital days.
And can you believe…. My mother did not want to include this
piece of jewelry in my bridal jewelry collection. And now, this was sure to
leave behind a scar in my mind. History repeats. .!! :-P.
But I am over smart. I made sure that my mother gifted me
this pendant on the first Deepawali festival that was celebrated after my
marriage. So, here is my treasure with me. :-)
.
So, that’s the story of the double emotions behind this
piece of jewelry that spanned for a couple of generations. :-)
