The first is a gold chain with a crucifix pendant. He gave it to me a couple months before he passed away and I wear it often, it brings me alot of comfort because my dad wore this chain all the time...it was close to his heart always and now it is close to mine. The other piece of jewellery is an Italian charm bracelet that my father used to wear all the time. After my father passed away, I asked if I could have it. I wear it all the time because it reminds me of him. <abbr><em>LuLu’s last blog post..<a href="http://calabrisellamia.wordpress.com/2009/01/08/in-pictures-carpanzano-parte-duepart-2/" rel="nofollow">In Pictures: Carpanzano (parte due/part 2)</a></em></abbr> <strong><em>Such wonderful remembrances LuLu!

I'm still sad about the very pretty bracelet I lost in college from my late grandmother. I didn't realize that the clasp had broken. My parents still have the necklace she gave me. It had a little cross, anchor and heart charm on it. I think it's some kind of sailor good luck thing. She lived on an island so I get the anchor. For some reason I rarely wear necklaces (this drives my mom nuts) and wear more silver than gold but maybe I should get my necklace next time I visit my parents. It's the only thing I have from her. She died when I was eight. <abbr><em>nyc/caribbean ragazza’s last blog post..<a href="http://sistergirltales.blogspot.com/2009/01/its-cold-its-rainingheres-little-don.html" rel="nofollow">It's cold, it's raining...here's a little Don Draper to brighten your day</a></em></abbr> <strong><em>Oh that's so sad about the bracelet :( The necklace sounds cute!

Nothing too fancy, a sapphire with some tiny diamonds, but I always loved the color. He gave it to me a few years ago and I had it cleaned and sized for me. I don't wear it often at all but I love the fact that he gave it to me. My oldest son(6), asked if he could have it when he gets older(mostly because it looks like one of his blue marbles I think :) ). Hopefully it will mean as much to him. <em><strong>What a sweet story!
