Heirlooms have been passed through generations for generations. It’s a touching way to leave a part of your history to your loved one. But often people make assumptions as to what constitutes an heirloom. Or worse, an heirloom is considered special to one person and perhaps not another. And that can be awkward!
According to one TLC article:
First, figure out whether your children (or whomever you have in mind) will appreciate an heirloom as you’d hoped — or if they’ll simply accept it out of obligation. So ask. And be prepared for the answer. After all, you don’t want your heirloom to become a burden. Unless you’re the passive aggressive type, but that’s a different list altogether.
One of our staff members loves this necklace. She feels like its her good luck charm. She also gave us a little information on the meaning of the symbol:
It’s actually “aum.” “Om” is the way it’s pronounced. “Om” can be used as a calming chant. In theory, it is the sound that was made when creation came into existence. It’s not like that sound was made per se; but the sound is supposed to contain all that is magical, undefinable and indescrible about the Universe we live in.
For me, the necklace gives me a sense of inner peace. It reminds me of the quiet center inside of me, which I can often forget about in these trying times.
The “Om” represents the four divine states of Brahman – metta (loving kindness), karuna (compassion), mudita (sympathetic joy), and upekkha (equanimity).
At first glance, Aniston’s stunning engagement ring from actor/director Justin Theroux seemed a bit on the…well, too large! Aniston had always come across to me as a simple gal who didn’t need to don such over-the-top pieces.
But perhaps that is just how Hollywood rolls…big.
Here’s the breakdown of the ring…and remember, if you like this ring, or aspects of this ring, we can custom design a larger-than-life piece especially made for the star in you.
