Scrap Granny
What should I do with a broken ring of sentimental value?
I have a gold signet ring which is broken. It wasn't expensive or anything - just from Argos - so not great or anything quality either. My granny bought it for me when I was about 15, the final Christmas before she died.
If it was just any old ring, I'd probably sell it for scrap or something, but it's got sentimental value because my granny gave it to me. So I'm wondering what to do with it?
Obviously I can just keep it as it is, but I'm worried that it'll end up getting lost or something.
I toyed with selling it for scrap and then using the money to buy something else to remember my granny by - but that doesn't seem right, and anyway, I'd hardly get much for it, so I'd be buying something tiny in the end!
I also thought about getting it made into a pendant or something. Does anyone know how much that costs and how to get it done?
Or does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
You could keep a memory box.
Like put it in there, put photos of her and other things with sentimental value. Decorate it with the colours she likes and little things you guys have collected. Inside you could put stuff she liked to do, like if she liked to read put a page of a book in there, or if she liked to knit put yarn of knitting needles in it. Keep it safe so you can come back and look in it.
Sounds corny but its really nice.
