I was recently visiting a older cousin in an assisted living program. She is 92. We talked for a while and she mentioned that she remembered that I liked her sparkly jewelry. She is known for her jewelry. She said that she had some that she no longer needed or wanted.
She handed me a small box of things, told me not to open it there so I said I wouldn't.
We visited for a little while longer and then it was dinner time for her. I wheeled her down to the dinning room and I said my good byes and left. It seemed that it took me forever to get home but I made it.
This is what I received.
Necklace, earrings and bracelet.

I am asking all of you what do you think?

Oh my, so many sparkly things! The ones that aren't so pretty are at least kitschy fun :) I'm sure you could re-purpose some in crafts, and use for dress-ups like on Halloween.
What a sweet gift from your cousin. These are all so very lovely. Thank you for the lovely story and for sharing the photos.

I personally love them all! That's when they made good jewelry! For me, there are certain pieces I would be wearing for everyday. But that's me ;o) Jeans, t-shirt, and a funky necklace and bracelet ;o) Have fun with them Linda ;o)
Those green jewels are gorgeous!!! You are very lucky to have been gifted these. :-)
OMG beautiful she has good taste love the brooch with a tiny flowers
How absolutely gorgeous. I love the pink bracelet and earrings. You are very lucky to have these pieces from you lovely cousin, they will be something to treasure from her.
Oh My STARS! And they are all in such beautiful condition! What treasures!
Gorgeous pieces- a gift you couldn't replicate these days. Enjoy them, and if you decide to sell or upcycle, find out if they are gems or look a likes in case you want to save some for your daughter?
Oh WOW! I would wear it for sure! You know how I love old jewelry, but this stuff is too good to break up and use in artwork or to re-purpose. I would certainly keep those in the family.
These are wonderful. Lucky you! It's nice to get such a box of treasures from your relative. And I think she will be happy if you appreciate and preserve them. All of these are very beautiful especially the green necklace and bracelet.
Oh, these are truly special. I love this kind of jewelry. How nice of your cousin to give these pieces to you. I really liked the necklace and the brooches.
I'm sure you will treasure these always.
Love,
