Fine Jewelry

Jewelry always tells a story

There are generally two types of jewelry purchases—fashion and fine. Fashion jewelry is just that, something to enhance the current fashion. It can be beautiful and well crafted, but more often than not, it is usually made of a lower quality gold- or silver- plated material, is not particularly durable, and in general, can be “disposable”.

Fine jewelry purchases on the other hand, usually have a higher price point and are often more classic in their styling.  It usually is of a metal quality such as 14k gold or sterling silver and of a design you’d be proud to pass on to your children and your grandchildren. Fine jewelry has a history or unique story the whole family knows and enjoys.

Frequently, people buy fine jewelry to mark some kind of special occasion—a birthday, anniversary, new baby, significant holidays, and others. This type of purchase can have a stronger story attached to it also. Wearing that ruby necklace reminds the wearer of the Christmas it was received, who gave it to them, and why. A gold and diamond pendant from the 10th anniversary evokes private smiles and cherished memories. A gorgeous heirloom pearl necklace passed from grandmother to mother to daughter connects family. Funny how the best loved pieces of jewelry always tell a story!

I feel cremation jewelry falls more into the fine jewelry category. There is usually so much deeper thought, emotion, and intention involved when choosing the shape, color, and style of cremation jewelry. It is intensely personal to choose and wear.

Cremation jewelry is a wonderful way to remember all the good times and funny stories of your beloved pet. That goofy trick your pet would do for a treat, the hilarious sound of their snoring, and the simple act of being your friend without any expectations beyond a head scratch (and yummy treats if you really must insist!).

These stories become part of the jewelry itself, and those gentle reminders of a life well-lived, well-loved, and ultimately well honored stay with it. I carry my TouchStone of Maddie everywhere in my pocket. For me, his funny stories and cherished memories are but just a touch away. Fine jewelry indeed.

Poem For Cats

Poem For Cats is a touching and gentle homage to the joy of loving and sorrow of losing a companion and friend, as told from an unusual and wise perspective.

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don’t they understand? asked God
That you’ll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is….forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am….forever and ever and ever.

Summer’s End

So this summer is coming to an end and my 2nd favorite time of the year is close on its heels–fall!  Crisp mornings, with warm afternoons, wonderful evenings, and those beautiful autumn colors everywhere. Winnie and I will still be enjoying walking the hills and pond nearby and we’ll even travel out of state for our annual family reunion. Which means 16 relatives and our combined total of 5 dogs! This is always such an enjoyable time to be with family, seeing how fast all the kids are growing, ……and all the grey hairs creeping in on the rest of us, including our dogs!

Hard to believe Winnie is 9 now…she was such a shy girl when we got here from the Humane Society three years ago, and now she is quite the outgoing happy tail wagger! She’s currently all draped over the pillow on “her” couch, and she just makes me laugh for no reason, simply because of the immense joy for life she shares. I hope you enjoy these closing days of summer and this next season to explore.
