Along the same idea. In 2005, a relative of my wife put on a 50th anniversary gala for their family business, a very high end Jewellery operation. It was a large affair, not at all my cup of tea. However, the affair was in honour of his parents who had both recently passed away. It was an elegant and classy dedication to them. Only because of that, my wife and I went.
The event featured a major donation to the Cancer Society, as well as a raffle with all proceeds to them. I bought a $20 raffle ticket. I was surprised to learn that my ticket was drawn, and that I had won a pair of diamond earrings and matching ring, with a value of 5k.
My wife never really cared for this ring and earring set, and only wore them once. Last night, after dinner, my older son and his wife being the only ones remaining, we gave this set to my daughter in law.
