In memory of my grandfather : which piece ?

[cvalier26]

He raised me and I would like something in rose gold that I won't change my mind about in 10 or 30 yrs (I am 30), that I can wear often, and that has a special meaning for us.

Budget is around 1000$

I am thinking of the olive leaf rose gold bracelet : olive trees represent a significant part of our culture

What do you think ? Do you have any other suggestions (no hearts though) ?

Here is a picture sent by a SA of the bracelet

As for other pieces, I have a dbty pendant rose gold .07 (and don't want bigger for now), a 7mm rose gold bean (same), and an olive leaf silver ring. I also have non Tiffany diamond studs, and a some non Tiffany silver pieces

Or maybe this ring in rose gold

The ring is beautiful! Was his birthstone sapphire?

 

[cvalier26]

Thank you ; not the birthstone, but it reminds me of when we were young and used to look at the stars together in the evening

 

[cvalier26]

But you are right about the bean, I just got it in rose gold, as a symbol of a personal new beginning for me, but I appreciate this idea of it being a symbol of a beautiful life lived

 

[cvalier26]

So I have decided the bean, as @AntiqueShopper suggested, is going to be my memory of a beautiful life, a timeless design that I can hopefully pass on to my daughter one day...

I still hope to purchase the bracelet one day, and maybe design my own sapphire and diamond ring in memory of stargazing...

 

[cvalier26]

Here it is layered with my dbty (although I find it very pretty on its own). I am happy with my choice. I remember hearing here that it was like a little worry stone, and I find that to be true, and I feel at peace wearing it.
