If you’re married, did you ever receive a special Family heirloom as a wedding gift?
Many people are really into following the “something old” tradition during a wedding and giving the bride a piece of Jewelry or something handed down from generations.
One woman is very angry with her mom, who is refusing to pass down a piece of her grandmother’s jewelry in honor of her wedding as she did for her sister.
Her parents came from very different backgrounds. Her dad came from a family of old money, while her mom didn’t. Although her parents went through a messy divorce two years ago, her mom still kept the antique, valuable jewelry pieces her dad’s mom gave her years ago.
Since the divorce, her relationship with her mom has been rough. Her mom remarried a year after her parents split to a man with a very humble lifestyle. Her mom stopped reaching out to her and her sister as much and started paying more attention to her new stepkids.
For instance, she had a baby a few months ago, and her mom has hardly visited.
“They live life very simple and small; that is their choice,” she said.
“My mom will never receive something extravagant again.”
Last year, her sister got married, and her mom eventually gave her a very old and beautiful diamond and sapphire bracelet passed down from her dad’s family. This was expected, as when she and her sister were kids, her mom promised to give them each a piece of jewelry from their grandmother.

This year, she’s getting married in the fall and has had her eyes on a specific piece from her grandmother’s family jewelry collection, a very old gold ring with her father’s family crest.
She figured her mom would have no issue giving this to her, especially since she doesn’t like the ring or her dad’s family anymore. But suddenly, her mom told her she couldn’t have it and didn’t explain why.
“My sister and I figure that it’s because our mom doesn’t want to part with any of the collection because she loves fine jewelry,” she explained.
“Mind you, my grandmother did give it to my mother, but she wants nothing to do with that family, lives in an unlocked, small house in the middle of nowhere with a known history of break-ins, and kept everything from my father’s side during the divorce.”
She’s worried that something bad will eventually happen to her grandmother’s jewelry while it’s still in her mom’s possession and is disgusted by how her mom is behaving.
Is her anger valid, or should her mom be able to do what she wants with the jewelry?
