My engagement ring, wedding ring, and ring stack will be items to be passed down to my kids when they're older.
Well, maybe not my wedding set - I have two daughters and don't know how to split that! Maybe I'll be buried with them!
You might also enjoy...
-
Definitely my wedding sets (I have my own and my grandmothers), our china, and all of our money I guess
-
I hope to pass down my engagement and wedding rings and my grand piano.
-
I only have 1 girl, so she'll get everything of mine. Bags, shoes (if we wear the same size), clothes, jewelry.
I recently had one of my necklace chains resized so we can give it to her in a couple of years. I was thinking of giving my e-ring to my son to give to his future wife.. but we'll see.
-
The center stone of my engagement ring is a family heirloom, so we know it will be passed down. My family has a lake house that will be passed along as well. I have a string of pearls that my grandmother gave to my mom for high school graduation, and I hope to do the same for a daughter some day. Our wedding china and crystal, a couple of quilts my great-grandmother made, my wedding dress/jewelry (I used parts of my mom's), and my sorority badge all come to mind as well.
-
My wedding set and the diamond necklace my husband gave me for the first Christmas after we were married (I may actually hand that down to my daughter for her wedding). I also have some jewelry from my grandmother and great grandmother (and I will have all of my mom's jewelry) that will get passed down.
-
I currently have the diamond from my grandmother's engagement ring on a necklace, so that will definitely be passed down. However, I have a son, so I don't know if it would be better to give it to him or to my niece...
I also have an Irish wake table from the early 1800s that I want to keep in the family.
-
Just my engagement ring. We actually have lots of diamonds that will hopefully be created into jewelry.
-
I have jewelry that I inherited from my grandmother and great grandmother that will be passed on to my daughter. And an original artwork we received as an engagement present. Not sure how things from DH's side will be divided up between my step daughter and daughter yet, we're due to sit down and write our will pretty soon so we'll figure it out then.
-
@mrsbookworm: you might have a granddaughter some day!
-
LO is the only grandchild (and may be for many years/ever) so basically.....she'll get everything. Jewelry, art, furniture heirlooms, other heirlooms, homes/land/family farm; everything.
-
My engagement ring, probably. It only has sentimental value, it was a very inexpensive antique.
Her wrap, it's our first and she adores it and I plan on keeping it for her.
-
@Rubies: hard to divide up between two girls.
I have my e-ring, wedding band, dragon Phoenix bangles that I'd hope to give to my daughter when she gets married. But now there's two daughters .... Well I do have two Bangles. Although they're meant to be a set. My mom gave it to me on my wedding day and I'll love to give it to to my daughter (s) on their wedding day. It's a Chinese custom.
-
Just my jewelry, which they're probably not interested in since they're boys. They'll probably fight over daddy's miata or camera collection.
-
Gosh, nothing but whatever money we leave. I don't wear jewelry except for earrings. We aren't the family heirloom type. I don't know if they would even like our stuff when they are adults.
-
My wedding set. I have my grandmother's original wedding set. I don't know if I would pass it down to a child or a grandchild. My wedding china, various paintings that I have inherited, jewelry, quilt from great great grandma, some furniture pieces that I have from my grandparents, and my le creuset... I anticipate that piece holding up for a long, long time.
-
I can't think of anything!
-
My e-ring and band. A pair of diamond earrings my husband gave me when we were first dating. My holes closed so I can longer wear them.
I have a couple pieces of art I created myself that I hope my kids would want to keep and display. I have a bamboo chest that belonged to my parents, but used for my toys growing up. The chest has moved with me a couple times after college, so it's mine now to pass down. My blanket that my parents tell me theu purchased in Mexico for me when I was a baby. It's twin size and heavy without adding bulk and has thick "fringe." I love it.
My mom will probably leave me her mink and her mother'mother's set of pink stemware. I will pass those down too.
-
My engagement ring and wedding ring. I also have my grandmother's engagement ring that I'd like to pass down. Right now I have a son, so they will likely go to him. If we're lucky enough to have another, I will try to find a way to split!
We also have DH's grandmother's piano that we'd like to pass down as well, and a rocking chair from my grandmother.
-
Hmmm....I don't know! One of my family members had a situation where both of her parents died within a small space of time. It was miserable splitting everything up and deciding who got what. The siblings fought bitterly. So, for me, I really want to live off what I have, sell property and have a smaller house, etc., but retire/have no debt, etc., and if I leave anything to my kids, it will probably be money that I didn't use in retirement. Maybe one or two pieces of antique furniture that were passed down to me. I dunno about rings, depends on a lot of factors!
-
Ha I doubt they will want any of my junk. I guess my wedding rings and anniversary ring, my Tiffany jewelry and my green glass collection? They will probably throw away my awesome suitcase collection.
-
My great grandmother's silverware. Also any antiques that we inherit from DH's grandmother.
-
My wedding ring belonged to my grandmother (I had it remade), so that will go to my oldest granddaughter. My daughter will get my engagement ring (a seperate set/stone).
-
@chopsuey: His future wife will have no problem loving that ring!
@Rubies: If we have two girls, I plan on giving one the engagement ring and one the two wedding bands.Just my wedding bands and engagement ring.
-
My daughter can have my engagement ring if she wants. I'm also saving a few pair of Frye boots that don't fit me since I was pregnant with her.
-
hmm...$$ if our plans work out. =)
Other than that, I can see them keeping my jewelry--my 22k gold wedding necklace, bangles, and earrings. And my engagement and wedding rings. And the mikimoto pearls (that I plan to buy myself when I turn 40!--lol).
ETA: I have some vintage china and a set of real silver from a grandmother but honestly, they are kind of old fashioned, so I wouldn't be surprised if they sold them. No one wants to polish silver these days.
-
@mrbee: Your winning personality?
-
@Mae: you're right! I didn't think of that!
-
My wedding set, mother's ring, any other jewelry I acquire, grandmother's silverware, and hopefully money
-
We have two girls, so I'm not exactly sure how we're going to divide things. I have jewelry given to me by my paternal grandfather, and I know my maternal grandmother plans to leave me some of hers as well. Those will all be divided somehow. We also have land both here and in the Philippines that they'll inherit. Depending on if they want them or not, I have a collection of vintage/designer bags, vintage cameras and a bunch of Le Creuset and raw cast iron.
-
Hmmm... I really only have my wedding ring/engagement ring that's worth anything, nothing else of value or sentiment. I guess my kids will have to sell it and split the money!
I would love for one of them to keep the piano, but pianos can definitely be a tricky piece to accommodate without the space.
-
I have some nice jewelry, my own china and my grandmother's china and silver. I have a few collections but you never know if they'll be interested in the same things.
-
Jewelry, china, Tiffany crystal serving pieces and bibles.
My Michael Aram stuff better pass-down-able.
@joyjoy: Ohhhh..... you just justified my love of Le Creuset! I actually have some pots that were my grandmothers and didn't think about passing down my own good cookware.
