Neck pieces/Necklace?

     Wearing chains and necklaces is more than just a fashion statement; it’s a powerful form of self-expression that carries deep personal significance. Each piece we adorn ourselves with often tells a story, reflecting our identity, beliefs, or cherished memories.

     Consider the chain you wear around your neck. It might symbolize strength and resilience, reminding you of challenges you've overcome. A simple pendant could represent love—perhaps a gift from someone special or a reminder of family ties. These pieces serve as tangible connections to our past, our values, and our aspirations.

    Jewelry can also be a source of empowerment. When you put on that favorite necklace, it’s like wearing a badge of honor, boosting your confidence and making you feel more connected to who you are. Whether it’s a statement piece or something understated, every item has its own unique meaning.

    Let’s not forget the cultural significance behind many chains and necklaces. In various traditions, specific designs or materials can symbolize protection or good fortune. Wearing these items allows us to honor our heritage while also showcasing our individuality.

    So next time you put on your favorite chain or necklace, take a moment to reflect on what it means to you. It’s not just an accessory; it’s a part of your story—a representation of your journey, your beliefs, and your connections. 

    Embrace the meaning behind your jewelry. Wear it with pride and let it remind you of who you are and where you come from. Because in every chain and necklace lies not just style but a narrative waiting to be shared.

    Now let me tell you about my neck piece real quick. The .50 piece I've been wearing since I was 16 years old and now I'm 40. I found it with the hole in it. I don't remember where I found it. Then when I was 25 I found one of the quarters in the Wendy's restaurant cash register while working there and again it had a hole in it. 

     The third quarter was found on the ground in Los Angeles when I was 39. It also had a hole in it with a tiny key ring attached. I thought to myself wow what are the odds. Then moving to Pineville Louisiana I found the penny with the cross in it at a Donut shop one morning. 

    Since I don't have tattoos I let the coins symbolize each of my children. I was thinking about giving the 3 of them the Silver when they are older & keeping the penny myself. Ion know we'll see 😉
