An Anniversary gift of Pearls

Last week was our 26th wedding anniversary.   We celebrated by going out to the symphony and hearing a lovely performance of Candide.

A few days before our anniversary G and his caregiver went shopping at.  Luckily I had found a shop that had some suitable options, and on our anniversary he presented me with a small box containing these lovely bronze and baroque pearl earrings by Margaret Ellis.   

 

I hadn't really known anything about Margaret Ellis before I moved here, but I really like her work.  Over the summer I had been wishing for something long and light, modern and a bit edgy all at once, preferably with pearls, and when I found this long necklace I snapped it up.   Luckily, it goes beautifully with my new earrings and I wore both pieces to the symphony.

Generally I would be more attracted to the silver jewelry, which is what you predominantly see on the website, but the warmer color of these pieces really struck me.  I had in fact wanted a gold necklace with pearls but hadn't found anything that wasn't too serious or too pretty, and this hit just the right note. Perfect for my life right now, and probably well into the future.

    Happy Anniversary.
    I love the baroque pearls in the jewelry.
    The necklace and earrings are classic without being old fashioned.

    Beautiful. And intelligent, if jewelry can be said to be intelligent.

    I love all these pieces. Lovely that you could manage a situation that allowed G to choose a gift for you. I’ve been impressed by his impeccable taste in other gifts you’ve shown here before. It’s obviously always been important for him to give you gifts that reflect both his own refined taste and his appreciation and understanding of you. Happy Anniversary to you both!

    Lackey fell behind 3-0 before working the count full. Youkilis hit a chopper to third, Figgins fielded and touched the bag for the force to end the threat.

    Love those earrings, the relaxed yet elegant nature. And so touching how he thought of you and tracked down that beautiful piece. Seems that his heart is very present.

    Beautiful! My fiance always asks me what I want for anniversaries or Valentine’s Day, and I usually have some good ideas. This year, I have a few great anniversary gifts ideas, but not a ton! I’ll throw pearls in there too. These are beautiful!
