may 25 unusual

I think this is very unusual...
it belonged to my Mum...
it was given to her by her Mum and Dad for her 18th or 21st...
I've only even seen one other like it....
my friend Jac was given one by her Mum that she found in a second hand shop (I think), same design only Jacs has pearls and no green stones (I thought these were emeralds until I had it valued several years ago, they are actually Garnets that have been cut in a special way so they show as green and not deep red...
As you can see, I don't wear this piece, it is on display in a frame in my loungeroom, so I can see it every day and remember my Mum!

PS if you ever seen one like this, please let me know as I would love to have a few more of these stunning pieces.
