nugget
my dad gave me this necklace long ago. i used to think it was the ugliest thing ever, and i never wore it. it reminded me of gold tinfoil.
i recently dug it out of a little box of keepsakes… and now i’m seeing it in a new light… and have been wearing it almost daily.
the nugget is from a gold mine in alaska that my dad and his brother owned in the 80′s. true story!

Awesome. I, too, just recently dug out a couple never-worn pendants that I now can’t stop wearing. What is it that flips the switch?

owned a gold mine in the 80′s? did they actually go to alaska and dig out chunks of gold themselves? and i wonder if the new appeal has to do with all resurgence of all things geometric, raw, and gem related…
looks stunning darling!

Awesome! Did they pan gold or just own a piece of it? I think it’s fun. The story makes it that much better.

Very cool. A necklace with history and a story to tell. The best kind.

Ha! I love the description of crumpled up tin foil. Funny how our tastes change. Great back story.

I love rediscovering things I already own.

oi. it’s not ugly, it’s lovely (but totally get it, we have all been there, right? old age and that
)

three cheers for seeing (many) things in a new light!
think of you often, hope all is groovy for you, at least the major portion of the time…
