OMG!!! 3weeks later and I’m here! I get a moment to myself and get to watch this from start to finish and look at each piece. How gorgeous we talked about it but oh my gosh in pictures it is stunning. But even more stunning is the stories in each category in each timeframe is so beautiful. I love how you say we were babies. Just gorgeous love you my gorgeous friend.
It is hard to find time to yourself with little ones! Thank you so much, they all have such special meaning behind them especially my mom's ring. We were babies having babies lol. And thanks to chatting with you I wear them all the time now, I love he fixed them to be more comfortable. Love you too my beautiful friend!
Thank you for sharing your new pieces and their stories. It was so lovely to hear how much care and thought went into every piece. Sorry that your family experienced some difficulties this year but I'm glad that things are peaceful again. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
In a few months, it will be 10 years since my mom passed away. I wear her original wedding set almost every day on my right hand. I’ve loved her rings for as long as I can remember. All your diamond jewelry is gorgeous!! Congratulations on your ring upgrade and diamond necklace!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful jewelry and the stories behind them! I believe your mom is watching over you. My mom died in 2006 and I talk to her too. When I got my wedding set upgraded and picked up the rings from the jeweler (my husband was at work) our wedding song was playing in the store! I had chills and my eyes started tearing up! Our wedding song is "At last" sung by Etta James. I wear some of my moms jewelry and like to think she's happy seeing me wear them. Enjoy your new and vintage pieces and wear them in good health! ❤ 😊
Oh, I really enjoyed this one, Melinda. Thank you for sharing all the stories of the jewels -- so poignant, the ones about your mom's rings, and the stories of the jewelry from your husband were so thoughtful and meaningful as well. What a great video!
Oh, I really enjoyed this one, Melinda. So much meaning and thoughtfulness in your pieces. Thanks so much for sharing all the stories behind them. This was so poignant!💕💕
I see 11:11 A.M. and P.M. almost everyday. I will not even be thinking of time, pick up my cell, 11:11, my eyes are pulled to the cable box, 11:11. I see 1:11 many days, too. I say a short prayer. Lovely video, enjoyed it.
My sweet momma passed in March of 2021. I have been sent special signs since her passing. 11:11 and 1:11 are very special for sure. Love your diamonds. I received one of my mother’s diamond sets as well. It means a lot to have anything she touched. ❤God bless you. Glad to see you so happy. ❤
They really are special numbers to see. I am so happy you have your moms ring as well, it really does mean a lot. Thank you so much and God bless you as well. Xoxo
Aww the part about your mom🥹 I lost my mom 3 years ago and also have her wedding ring. I cherish it and wear it often. I miss her so. Soon after she passed I talked to her quite often. I made sure to jot down our conversations in my notes so I wouldn’t forget.💖
This was a special video. I am on my third “upgrade”. I can’t even fit in my original setting, although I do have all 3 rings. I have no qualms about the upgrades either, it’s a testament that we are still together after all these years (35!). My final setting is a canary diamond, not sure why I gravitated to that color, but it has always been on my wishlist. I love it. We too didn’t have a pot to p*ss in and we were older! But it shows how hard work and perseverance in life and marriage work. Love that you have special pieces from your mom. I dread that day (lost my dad 37 years ago). Here’s to continued happy memories of your mom. I see the number 4:44 and 11:11 a lot. I do say a little prayer every time. Enjoy your jewels.
I love that! So true it is a testament to still being together and still being in love and hard work for sure! Your canary diamond sounds so beautiful! I know what you mean, I dread the day I lose my dad. Glad you see your special numbers too. Thank you.
Every diamond in this video is so beautiful, but what’s MOST beautiful is all of the cherished meanings behind all of your pieces, new and old and everything in between! I love how you kept all of your past rings, and how you still look at them with the fondest memories! Also, it cracked me up when you said your husband always presents to you a ring on his pinky, what a special thing he does that you and him share!
I love that your jeweler said the bracelet is only yours; I've read online where people design a special piece with a jeweler and the jeweler goes on to make and sell it for other people- without even asking if it's ok. I would be really upset if that happened to me. So kudos to your jeweler for his honesty!
I didn't expect it to be only mine at all because he didn't design it for me but it is so special it is. I can see if you sat down and designed something that would not make someone happy to see it being sold again. He is great!
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous jewelry. I’m a jewelry lover too and have a nice collection. Every piece has a story and a memory attached. Love your story!!!
My mom passed unexpectedly at 49 in 1984 when I was 19. She LOVED jewelry (especially diamonds) and always had her jewelry made by the same jeweler. She’d always have pieces made from jewelry that was inherited. So a couple of years after her death I had her wedding set and mothers ring (my brother’s birthstone is diamond and mine is sapphire) made into one piece that could be deconstructed and put back to the original pieces. I was going to wear it as a pendant when my jeweler remembered he’d made a wide gold band for my mom years before out of a gold watch band her dad had given her. He knew I always wore rings so he suggested rather than a pendant, he would mount the piece on the band. I have long fingers so it worked perfectly. My grandmother passed in 1997. Crazy thing happened about a month later. The sapphire fell out of my ring. My grandmother’s diamond fit perfectly. Needless to say, this ring NEVER comes off my finger. The night before I had a surgery that required me to remove all my jewelry, I ended up at the fire station where it took 45 minutes and two blades to remove it. Of all the jewelry I have, this ring is the one piece that I treasure the most. Every time I look at it I smile. I do take it off regularly though. I don’t ever want to have it cut off again. 😂
Oh Melinda. I love that your mother is always with you. Your husband made me tear up for how much he loves you. He is a rare gem as you are his diamond.
Hello. Your jewelry is beautiful and I love the meanings behind each one. I also treasure my jewelry not because of the monetary values but because of the meanings.
The most beautiful jewelry reveal ever! Both the new wedding set and the one from your mom. You made it to the end but I didn’t. 🥹 Enjoy your beautiful pieces! 💕💕💕
This was so Beautiful. I Love all your pieces but to hear the stories behind the pieces really warmed my heart. Forever Cherish & Wear each piece in Great Health. 🤍🌬
Beautiful stories behind everything. Love your elegant style and you have a wonderful and warm personality. Wish you and your family have a wonderful holiday season
Melinda you have such a beautiful soul,I’m so sorry for your loss but must say you were very blessed to have such a special mother,l am not as fortunate but get very teary when l hear touching stories like yours,🙏🧡
Your diamond jewelry is beautiful! Seeing your video made me think about my mom’s wedding ring that I have and having in made into something instead of just sitting in my jewelry box. Enjoy your pieces. Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰
Melinda, you are the kindest soul who deserves the best things in life. Beautiful diamonds , so true you can admire everyday 💍💎Congratulations on your anniversary, always love your stories especially about your mum, what a special ring. Your dad and husband are so sweet. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend ❤❤❤
Gorgeous Melinda, congratulations! My husband and I at 25 years discussed an upgrade (already had added to my original diamond a few years back). Our daughter was in college so we waited until now (approaching 27 years). I did not want to upgrade unless I could afford to keep my original diamond as it is so sentimental to us. We looked at many sets and found something we loved & had something similar made & I am absolutely thrilled with it! My original diamond will be made into a pendant & the other diamonds from the first upgrade will go to my daughter when she wants it or gets engaged.
So funny! My first ring was round brilliant in 1.01 carats with .50 channel set princess stones in white gold. The band was 1.00 carats of princess chanel set to match. We ended up upgrading to a 1.75 centre stone years later. The third upgrade was an elongated cushion cut in 2.27 carats. It didn’t match my setting because it was too big for the channel set diamonds so we began to look for another setting. We looked at many at our jewellers & he came to our house with a few options. When I saw the one I picked I got teary eyed, I knew it was the one. But like your hubby said it’s a very large ring without an actual band. Centre stone the 2.27 cushion, down the centre of the band is 1.5 carats of baguette diamonds & on each side of those are channel set princess cut diamonds of 2.5 carats. It’s so unique I’ve never seen another ring close to it. All in all it’s 6.27 total carat weight. I love it and will never change it again. My old setting we set a sapphire in it and soldered the two rings together. Your Mother’s ring is beautiful, and so special.
Melinda, I love your Jewlery and the stories behind every piece. My dad had diamonds put in my mom's wedding band for their 25th Wedding anniversary and it looks so very similar to your moms🥰 Your taste is impeccable! Enjoy wearing these beautiful pieces!
Oh Melinda! Thank you for sharing your story. We all have our life stories, I too am truly blessed. Life isn’t about the “stuff”, but the love and memories that come with the gifts. The memories are priceless! Sending blessings!🥰
Hearing about your signs from your Mom is so beautiful. My Mom passed away 20 years ago this coming Sunday. I don't really see signs from her that often but remember her voice so clearly. Your diamond pieces are gorgeous.
I absolutely believe in those signs... My sign is 11/19 I talk to my mom everyday... They hear us..... Beautiful special pieces... Enjoy! Your smile says it all...
Diamonds are a girls best friend!!💎✨ I LOVE all of your diamonds. My bf has upgraded my diamonds twice now haha. I have an 8ct tennis bracelet, 5ct studs and a 3.5mm diamond eternity band now😉😂
Yep crying. Our parents thing become more special when they are gone. My house is filled with some of my mom’s things. I love it. Thankfully we had similar tastes in things. When she got older she started to like dainty things and I am just to rough for dainty 😂 I just busted another ankle bracelet taking off socks🤯 Enjoy all your beautiful pieces! 💙
Your mother's ring is just beautiful. 😊I have an opal ring of my mother's . I gave to my daughter. My daughter ruined it . I have the pieces and need to get it repaired. I hope to get one of my mother's diamond rings before she dies. She is 80 years old. She acts like my brother is her only family.
Lovely video...I see 11 after the hour so frequently...sometimes 4-5 times a day...I like to think it is a sign from God ,and my parents ,who have passed too.
Oh I was so hard not to cry throughout this video ( especially when you spoke about mom) Lord I feel like bawling 😢now. 11:11. So happy you received the diamond you wanted especially since your sweet mama dropped out of nursing school to marry your amazing dad ; then went back to receive her RN. What a great story. He gave her that beautiful gold band with two diamonds and a beautiful round diamond. ❤your dad is so sweet and thoughtful. Your hubby is simply the best ! I’ve told you this throughout the years. ❤God bless him . He’s a true example of what a husband should be. ❤

Seeing your first wedding set was a lot like my first one. We were young and couldn’t afford much, so I had a 1/2 carat marquis diamond with a VERY visible flaw in it! I had a wrap of v-shaped diamonds and it made it look amazing…if you didn’t look too close, lol. After the years for our 10 year anniversary we upgraded my ring to a 3 stone anniversary band (emerald cut stones with princess cut on both sides) and a matching diamond band. I did trade in my original set though and I regret it. I wasn’t supposed to be able to have children and god blessed me with 2, so I wish I had it to pass onto my daughter. We’ve been married now for 29 years and I want to look and see if there would be anything that would catch my eye in upgrading it for our 30th anniversary, or make a memory and take an amazing trip somewhere. I need to get my husband outside of the states for the first time and Italy is our place of choice. I absolutely love your bracelet and it is a special “one of a kind for you”. ❤
What a beautiful story! Go for Italy, you can always do the ring on an odd anniversary like we did. You will talk about that trip for a lifetime and you can still enjoy the ring later. :) Thank you!
OMG!!! 3weeks later and I’m here! I get a moment to myself and get to watch this from start to finish and look at each piece. How gorgeous we talked about it but oh my gosh in pictures it is stunning. But even more stunning is the stories in each category in each timeframe is so beautiful. I love how you say we were babies. Just gorgeous love you my gorgeous friend.
It is hard to find time to yourself with little ones! Thank you so much, they all have such special meaning behind them especially my mom's ring. We were babies having babies lol. And thanks to chatting with you I wear them all the time now, I love he fixed them to be more comfortable. Love you too my beautiful friend!
What beautiful stories Melinda. Your hubby is a keeper. So glad things are better and I hope you keep seeing 11:11❤
I hope so too! Thanks Bailey!
I love your heart-felt stories and of course your beautiful collection
Thank you so much!

Hearing about your signs from your Mom is so beautiful. My Mom passed away 20 years ago this coming Sunday. I don't really see signs from her that often but remember her voice so clearly. Your diamond pieces are gorgeous.
I don't think we ever stop missing our moms. Thank you!
This video made me cry ❤
Those pieces mean so much.
Do you use an at home jewelry cleaner or only allow the jeweler to clean it?
I use the Cartier cleaning kit at home.
@LuxPurselove Thank you! Happy Holidays!
@ You’re welcome! Happy Holidays to you!
I absolutely believe in those signs... My sign is 11/19 I talk to my mom everyday... They hear us..... Beautiful special pieces... Enjoy! Your smile says it all...

Thank you! Yours sounds beautiful!
Yep crying. Our parents thing become more special when they are gone. My house is filled with some of my mom’s things. I love it. Thankfully we had similar tastes in things. When she got older she started to like dainty things and I am just to rough for dainty 😂 I just busted another ankle bracelet taking off socks🤯
Enjoy all your beautiful pieces! 💙
I love you have some of her things, they really do become so special. I think I would bust an ankle bracelet off too lol. Thank you so much!
Melinda you make me cry.
They are such special pieces.
Your mother's ring is just beautiful. 😊I have an opal ring of my mother's . I gave to my daughter. My daughter ruined it . I have the pieces and need to get it repaired. I hope to get one of my mother's diamond rings before she dies. She is 80 years old. She acts like my brother is her only family.
It's great that you have the pieces to repair! Thank you!
Oh, and btw…….I think the size you picked is perfect for your set. 😊
Me too, thank you! :)

Oh I was so hard not to cry throughout this video ( especially when you spoke about mom) Lord I feel like bawling 😢now. 11:11.
So happy you received the diamond you wanted especially since your sweet mama dropped out of nursing school to marry your amazing dad ; then went back to receive her RN. What a great story. He gave her that beautiful gold band with two diamonds and a beautiful round diamond. ❤your dad is so sweet and thoughtful.
Your hubby is simply the best ! I’ve told you this throughout the years. ❤God bless him . He’s a true example of what a husband should be. ❤
Thank you so much Andrea! My dad was such a good husband and I am so blessed my hubby is as well. Xoxo

What a beautiful story! Go for Italy, you can always do the ring on an odd anniversary like we did. You will talk about that trip for a lifetime and you can still enjoy the ring later. :) Thank you!
