i think the most sentimental gifts we receive are jewelry. it doesn't have to be fancy, it can be some yarn and even a couple beads tied together to fit our wrist. but it's what's most important. it's a show of pride; this was given to me by someone i love. this is a signifier of who i love. i am wearing them with me at all times. bracelets, earings, necklaces, rings. the stories they can hold, the superstitions and folktales in the symbolism of a bracelet, or a ring. it doesn't have to be diamonds and pearls, just to wear something, to show off to the world, something from someone we care about so much. it's our favorite display of love.

#inspired by all of our friendship bracelets #and family heirlooms weve gotten #and of the jewelry our partner gifts us that we wear everywhere #they first gave us a morganite bracelet they brought back from the philipines for christmas one year #and so we gifted them a sunstone bracelet back #unfortunately we lost that bracelet and were very upset about it and they surprised us with a new matching pair instead #both bracelets with a matching bead from the other's on the center that i always keep on our inner wrist to feel closer to our heart #they also gave us a pair of robin earings that are our favorite pair of earrings and we wear them every opportunity #and this valentines day they made us a bracelet with a feather and sapphire pendant surrounded by blue glass beads and two mini shells #and i almost cried when they gave it to us because it was so pretty and it's everything to us that we associate between the two of us #feathers for us and the shells for them #and it may be the most important gift we've received to this point in time #something so small and yet to us its everything #to us that bracelet is love. it represents our partner and them making something that reflects the both of us and thats love #thats love to me that really is #love is stored in the jewelry
