Male Female

As far as I know, we don't have any special or expensive things in my family. However, I remember we have a pair of earrings that have been passed down through generations, from my grandma to my mom, and then to my sister. The last time they were worn was by my sister. So I would say these earrings are very special and valuable to our family because they've been around for so long. They're from Brighton and were made to be worn on different occasions with different traditional clothes.
