vintage jewelry

i am a huge fan of vintage jewelry. lucky for me, my grandmother has some amazing jewelry that she loves to give me. i think she's pretty much given me all of her vintage jewelry {don't worry, she never wears it and prefers to buy new jewelry}. i actually wear what she gives me so i'm sure she loves knowing how much i enjoy and wear these jewels! most of this stuff is from my grandmother but also my great aunts {and one ring from my sister-in-law's aunt which i borrowed-- sorry, jessica, i'll return it someday}

these are some of my favorite pieces:

 this is my favorite ring. yep, there are 19 diamonds on there. sigh...

 this was my great grandmother's wedding band

my great grandmother's locket. i can't remember if the picture inside is of her or her parents but either way, it's really old and so beautiful!
