I was told it was passed on through our family, but I thought it was something from the sixties. A matching bracelet and clip earring set, it is made of either brass or copper and has huge chunks of silver. It's super heavy. Some of the pieces of silver have come off and I can tell it has been repaired before. Any ideas what time period it could be from? I'd love to get the piece restored as well as know more about it. Thanks! http://www.flickr.com/photos/25227547@N08/2374303894/

Honestly, I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I know they can remove the engraving and engrave our wedding date if I want, but

You may have heard of them? Although diamonds had been given in the past, it wasn't until DeBeers got a hold of the market that now more then 90% of women expect diamonds. Now it's supposed "custom" or "tradition" and women EXPECT a diamond ring! I have a hard time wearing something on my finger that supposedly symbolizes love that was more of a marketing invention. What kind of engagement ring would you
