No 58: Something Borrowed

I’m a traditionalist. I’ll always pick pearls over diamonds, and I’ve been wearing my grandmother’s studs since my sweet sixteen. I would never dream of buying jewelry for my wedding, and can’t imagine wearing much anyway. I might just wear her pearls, because I think bare shoulders and collarbone look dramatic and beautiful, and I hate fussy, glittery jewelry. If I wear anything else, it will be a piece of family jewelry, like my mother’s amethyst that many other women have borrowed on their wedding days.
