My great-grandmother Ada passed away in 1931 and I suppose the earrings were buried with her. I have a big collection of various earrings, but I usually wear simple silver hoops about the size of a quarter - most every day. Pearls are simple and always nice.<br />Running with a sharp pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567114914344114750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-5523950456337010342015-08-01T21:12:42.995-05:002015-08-01T21:12:42.995-05:00so charming.

I helped to plan and host a "pearl party" one time (I blogged it) because my friends and I think that all pearls have stories :) My name means "pearl" which I love.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-26237053351560974092015-07-30T15:46:14.016-05:002015-07-30T15:46:14.016-05:00I'm so glad you found it.I'm so glad you found it.

Twice I've lost the stone from my engagement ring and found it again miraculously, after several weeks--it's been secured by much better prongs since.<br /><br />Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747223126169684757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-17081287064215786472015-07-26T22:40:51.650-05:002015-07-26T22:40:51.650-05:00A happy ending!

Inspired by you Anna, I shall reduce them to five pairs and send the rest to Lifeline.

They were a gift from my grandmother--did not actually belong to her.<br /><br />I own more earrings than that and love wearing them sometimes, but my standby are the pearls. Wore them in the lake today....<br /><br />My husband once lost his wedding ring in the garden. It was there for a whole year. (He'd been burning brush--we used a metal detector over the whole yard...) Then one day the next summer he was weeding a row of tomatoes and found it glistening in the sun....! We were happy!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403233175071026416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-69353183331124657842015-07-26T11:15:07.759-05:002015-07-26T11:15:07.759-05:00Loved this!

They are black pearls, the gift my daughter gave both mothers at her wedding. We were visiting our daughter near Boston when I laid my earrings down on a table to protect them while changing clothes. Later when I went to put them on, they were no longer there. My husband said her very large dog had been sniffing in that area. I assumed Charlie had eaten the earrings. I was upset at myself, not the dog. <br /><br />So imagine my surprise when, a couple months later, I was cleaning out my purse and my favorite earrings fell out. Apparently, someone had dropped them in my purse to protect them! I had to send out an apology to my Granddog, now a thousand miles away. -;)Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-3591296622921754402015-07-26T10:27:21.890-05:002015-07-26T10:27:21.890-05:00I'm assuming you were in a tizzy, and Clara wa...I'm assuming you were in a tizzy, and Clara wasn't, and that's why she saw it. Glad it's found!<br />I have a thing for earrings, and love to have several pairs. But in my ongoing journey toward more minimalism, I only want the earrings I'm regularly wearing. <br /><br />LisateresaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503930255842185609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-29089768879504512642015-07-26T08:35:18.510-05:002015-07-26T08:35:18.510-05:00PTL!!!PTL!!!Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-15892246482046632172015-07-26T08:34:11.572-05:002015-07-26T08:34:11.572-05:00They are beautiful and that is wonderful they are ...They are beautiful and that is wonderful they are Your grandmothers!

Two, my mom yelled for me one day....many, many moons ago, and asked that I help her find her glasses. While trying hard not to laugh I asked, "you mean the ones on top of your head?" Drama over indeed. Thanks for the laugh and memories. I do hope you and The Composer had a wonderful anniversary.<br />blessings, jillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
