Selling old jewelry has become a past time of my grandparents these days. I know that my great grandmother was very wealthy and left all her jewelry to my grandma but I would think that she probably wanted her to keep it, wear it and then pass it down. My grandparents have instead decided that selling jewelry is a way to pay the bills and travel. They have taken four vacations just this year and are in the stages of planning another one.

When the gold prices hit such a high, they came up with selling old jewelry to give them the lifestyle they wanted. They have not considered anyone else’s feelings, including my mothers and mine. I would love to just get one of my great grandmother’s pieces to have for a keepsake but at the rate my grandparents are going, it will all be gone before too long.

I hope that selling jewelry has not become the way to get by for other people. If there are family heirlooms then considering other people’s feelings would be a smart thing to do before you sell off everything for a few fun vacations here and there. I am hoping to discuss this matter with my grandparents and hope that I can make them see my point of view on it.
