I was not financially compensated for this post, however I did receive the jewelry pictured to facilitate this post. Thank you to Centime Gifts for partnering with me. And thank you readers for supporting the brands that support this blog and my family.
Last December, my family lost our matriarch, my grandmother, Eilene. She was deeply loved by her family and she deeply loved us, with each grandchild born the smartest and prettiest yet, she saw the best in every single one of her four children, ten grandchildren, and fifteen great grandchildren. At her memorial, nearly everyone spoke about how she made them feel like her favorite and how they felt her genuine unconditional love. Her loss left a hole in all of our hearts. We each lost our biggest fan.
When someone you love dies, you scramble to hold onto any little piece of them you can. My grandfather laid out all her costume jewelry for his daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters to choose from. Several of us took as many pieces as we could, none worth anything to anyone but each other. I’ve worn several pieces since then and they make me feel closer to her somehow.
For some time, I’ve wanted to tattoo her signature on my wrist, but I haven’t had the time. Her signature seems like a piece of her that lives forever. It’s her handwriting forever preserved and it gives me a sense of closeness with her while reminding me to be more like her. When I found Centime Gifts and saw that they take signatures and turn them into jewelry, it wasn’t even a question, I knew I wanted a bracelet with grandma’s lovely cursive.
Ordering the bracelet was somewhat therapeutic for me. tracing her signature with my fingers, thinking about her through her handwriting, something so personal, was healing. Centime Gifts is absolutely onto something with this heartfelt idea of preserving handwriting and signatures through a piece of treasured jewelry. My bracelet will be a keepsake I can hand down to Evelyn, preserving our family history and memories through.
