My Favourite Piece Of Jewelry

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

By Tracy Schruder

“The most expensive personal item I’ve ever purchased is my diamond bracelet, a gift from my husband for our 25th anniversary.

The morning of our anniversary my husband surprised me with a trip to our favourite jewelry store, Burns Jewellers.

I decided that I would like to get another sapphire ring for my gift. I looked through the images on the website, on our drive there and found one I really liked.

While we were at the jewelry store to buy the ring, I spotted this stunning bracelet in an another display case. The jeweler smiled and asked if we’d like to take a closer look, and I was immediately drawn to it.

As she handed it to me, I couldn’t help but comment on its weight, and she smiled knowingly. I’m sure she was torn between revealing the price or letting me fall in love with it first! Either way, I was smitten. I tried it on and it was perfect. I asked the price and my husband hushed me told me not to worry about that. He told her to wrap it up he will take them both.

Five thousand dollars later, I left with two beautiful pieces of jewelry that hold a value far beyond their cost.

I wear both pieces daily, and they’re a constant reminder of my husband’s love and appreciation. It’s a gift that will always be priceless, a symbol of our years together and the memories we’ve shared. It’s truly the most expensive personal item I’ve ever owned, and I’m so grateful to have it.”
