Passed down from generation to generation via family members, heirlooms can come in many forms including property, deeds, furniture and of course, jewelry. Heirloom jewelry too can take many forms, but the most common are wedding or engagement rings. Sometimes recipients of heirloom jewelry will have it modified to suit their tastes or replicated if the original has been damaged or lost. Our Lost Dolphin and our Lost Wedding Ring articles provide more details and information about the recreation process and its beautiful results.
