It's Show and Tell Friday! Part of my show and tell is I finally was able to copy this graphic from Kelli's blog-and I have no idea how I did it-I'm such a tech wiz!
If you would like to join in the fun and see other great show and tells, please visit Kelli's blog.
My show and tell for this Friday are these antique earrings. They once belonged to my great-grandmother from Italy. They were passed on to my grandmother and then to me. It is a tradition in my family for the bride to wear these earrings on her wedding day. I plan on giving them to my oldest niece when she marries, as I have no children.
I believe these earrings are about 100 years old and made of platinum. There are two diamonds in each earring. They have some pretty little details, it's hard to tell in this photo. I think you can click on the picture to get a better look.
Thank you for looking at my "Show and Tell" and thank you Kelli for hosting.

Wowzers, what a treasure.
Great show and tell!! Mine's posted too. About an 'antique' keyboard of mine!!!
What a treasure being passed on in your family. They are beautiful!
Lovely, and such a tradition. Are they old-timey ear screws or do they have a point for pierced ears?
Those are lovely and what a wonderful family tradition.
