Hand Me Down Jewelry - How to Start a Family Tradition

Hand Me Down Jewelry - How to Start a Family Tradition
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Stewart_Bailey]Stewart Bailey

Mothers and daughters have always had a special bond and the tradition of handing down jewelry may not be as common as it used to be, but it is something that can make your relationship even stronger.

Today's kids are used to getting the newest IPOD or cell phone and have lost the appreciation for the simper things in life. The time honored tradition of handing down something special to your children during specific times in their lives has become less common. Unfortunately, our relationships with our kids are always tested and in some cases replaced with peers or even worse, the internet.

If you are looking to get back this basic custom for the holidays or other occasion it can be an easy and simple start to a future tradition that can have a lifelong impact on your daughter. A special gift that does not need batteries can be a refreshing change and hold a greater level of significance and appreciation for both of you.

Whether the item is a small gold locket, an Irish ring or an old pendant from your jewelry box, the significance of passing the item from one generation to the other becomes extra special and strengthens the emotional bonds between you.

If you are looking for a way to re-connect with your daughter, try handing down a special gift and begin a tradition that will remind her that a cell phone is not the only gift that can make her happy. The sentimental value and heartfelt significance it carries will be something that both of you will share between you forever.
