There are many people out there that wear jewellery that have been passed onto them by dead relatives and it would seem that this actually provides them with a sense of peace.

Reasons For

There are many reasons why people would actually pop on old turquoise jewellery or perhaps even one of those ladies watchesand it would seem the main reason is to simply honour the person that has since passed by and I personally think that it is a great idea. One of the favourites that people seem to wear is the locket with a nice photo of the person that they used to know. I think that this is a really good way of remembering someone because you can always look at them. A lot of my friends do this and find it very useful.

Reasons Against

The one problem that seems to be obvious with this kind of thing is the obsession. If you cannot go a day without having it around your neck, wrists or on your finger then you know you have a bit of a problem. A lot of people have said that by clinging onto something like this they are actually finding it harder to get over the person. Holding on to someone’s things for a long period of time when you don’t even like them is not good for you at all so don’t do it. Keep the silver jewellery but don’t wear it if you don’t like it.

Everyone in the world has suffered loss and some handle it a lot differently to others, if this is your way of saying goodbye and remember them that this is great just make sure you do not become obsessed.

So there you have it, although keeping jewellery on you can be a good thing for you the one thing to remember is do not take it too far.
