Sun for Mama and Mini

 

These are pendants and pins. Both are the sun, and are from Italy. Th one on the right has been to my jeweler. I had a smaller diamond taken out, and the 1/2 carat diamond from my engagement ring set in it. The one with the opal has not made the trip to the jeweler. I will have the original diamond from the first one set in this one. 

One is mine and the other one is for my daughter. I try to find vintage sun pins and pendants to collect. Once we actually have our ranch, and the museum I would love to have some jewelers offer pieces that are related to things at the ranch and the museum. The museum will be all about Italian culture and the influence it has in America. 

We thought having an ag-tour museum would be great for us and our community. We do not have our ranch as of yet, but if you want to see our progress go to my blog Terra Del Sole.

  1. How beautiful that you want to perserve such pretty pieces for your daughter to treasure. I have my Grandmother's pearl necklace, and it is full of love.

    No one was there but care givers. Why is it when you really need love and you are dying

  8. Hi Kimberly, yes it's been ages, I've been spending less time reading blogs making my daughter my priority during the day so I just don't get to read as much as I'd like.

    I love this post today, I'm a jewelry hound! You can see that if you ever decide to take a quick trip around my other blog. I've seen sun inspired pins and earrings in my travels but hadn't really given them much thought. After reading your post today, I will appreciate them through new eyes. Thank you.
