Valima Jewelry issue

[Mc12IT]

@Muzna

I come from a pretty liberal family and have been through this situation with my SIL.
Her valima jewellery was ugly…and I mean really ugly!!! We had no choice in the matter…we had to pick from what was available in the city at the time. Circumstances ruled our decisions and we got what we could.

Later on she decided that she was going to get that set melted down and something else made from it. She asked permission and brother said do what you want, it’s yours’. She asked Ammi and reluctantly she agreed too. But I say reluctantly because ammi’s position was that once something is made you don’t melt it down. You leave it. Especially if you are in a position to afford other items…which we were and had done.

Long story short…new set was made, worn once and then stolen during a robbery…gone forever!

SIL received insurance money with which she replaced the one she had made.
Several years later her house was robbed…again and the jewellery taken.

To this day she has not been able to accumulate anything in terms of jewellery.
Sad…and probably just a coincidence…but I bet ammi has rolled over a few times in her grave…

That’s quite weird of you to scare a girl who is asking a simple question here.. and your amma shouldn’t have felt offended to begin with since she had gifted that to your sil happily.. it was your SIL’s choice to either keep it or make it into something more beautiful… same goes to goodgirl, and if my wife wants to change it to something else later on then be it.. why make life more miserable than it already is ( if they are going through any other problems) if not then why even make your life miserable to begin with.
