    I hope she wears these with real pleasure, remembering how she and her husband had lovely dinners with a fine lady for yrs. Yes they are expensive, but they were made to be worn and enjoyed. For nice dinners , theatre nights, special holidays. Yes, in the event of some family disaster they can be sold. That's how fine jewelry gets released back into the wild. But until then, do ax the widow would want; wear them in happiness.

      yes i think gifts like that are so beautiful because they can be worn and enjoyed for many generations, but also sold for necessity if that time ever comes. maybe this woman's child or grandchild will come into hard times someday and will truly need the money that this would bring at auction, the value of which may increase even more someday. i think it's a gorgeous gift to pass down whether it's worn or sold.

    • @andieelaine7271

      I think that the older woman wanted those two pieces to go to someone who admired them and would wear them. To go to dinner once a month for years and years, that’s a special relationship. The new owner should wear them and cherish the memory of her friend.
