My daughter is turning 21 next month. I want to give her something that she will cherish but I also want to give her something she won't stash in the back of her jewelry box.
I would like to give her my strand of pearls that my mom gave me and the matching pearl bracelet. First, is this a good gift? Second, I have to have them restrung, right now the necklace is about 20", would it be nicer to have a long strand and no bracelet or keep the bracelet and maybe add a cool silver monogram to the bracelet.
I am really at a loss, she works for a large corporation in Southern Cal doing event planning but is also a college student. Any thoughts or suggestions would be a great help. Thanks!

I know, it would be lovely for it to be a surprise, but it could be just as lovely and even exciting for her to hear the story behind the pearls and be part of the discussion of what will be done to them.
When it comes to a gift of expensive jewelry my opinion is that it is always better to have the input of the person you are getting the gift for.
Perhaps surprise her with a smaller, less expensive gift as an add-on as well but if you are going to give her this necklace and make it over for her, do yourself a favor and get her opinion. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
