My WOLF stacking box contains my most precious pieces. Mom and Dad didn’t have much. Dad wore the same ring every day of his life along with his watch, and two pair of cuff links that alternated in his French cuffs every work day. Mom cherished the few pieces of jewelry that Dad gave her over the years, including a moonstone ring that was the first good piece that he bought her for Christmas with his first ever bonus back in ‘50s. Here’s a story that I didn’t know until I was in my 40’s – Mom used to go to the local jewelry store and pick out a few things that she liked, and the owner would put them in the safe. My dad would always do his Christmas shopping two days before Christmas and, funny thing, the store always had something that my mom “would like” according to the jeweler. Dad would be so excited that he could find the perfect gift and of course Mom acted surprised, year after year. I’m so lucky to have those pieces now, plus cameos from both of grandmothers.
