Bugsey, for shame!
Mrs. HB does not use jewelry. Besides the stuff she inherited from her mother was stolen by a little girl we were "harboring"...She took it without permission to "show off" and the people she was showing off for stole it all. Really beautiful stuff...and she would never admit it since she wasn't supposed to have taken it, but she came home all bruised and sid she had fallen down. A teacher saw the whole thiing and to this day she denies she took the stuff. She and her sisters are back in the poverty they came from......fool me once....
But Mrs. HB only uses her wedding band. There are occasions when she will use stuff my mother gave her, like a charm bracelet with things from all over the world, and every country I have ever been to...but that is very seldom.
One of the great things about the woman is that she would rather have the latest Mary Higgins Clark book than a gold chain. The only exception is little gold studs for her ears. She is always losing them. IF I had a gold ear stud factory I could not keep the woman in earrings!!...
