My Mom’s Favourite Necklace

Posted on: February 26, 2015

About ten years ago my parents’ house was robbed and the thief stole a lot, if not all, of the jewelry. One of my mom’s favourite necklaces, a star necklace my father had given her in 1975, was among them. She has been upset about losing that necklace ever since.

On 25 February 2015, I went to the Mid-South Outlet to check out their boutique. I looked at a vintage baby rattle, but decided against the $1.95 purchase. While at the register at the front of the store, I changed my mind and went back to get it. As I was waiting for my stuff to be packed up, I was looking down at the jewelry and saw something I recognized. A star necklace that looked just like the one my mom had lost!! I couldn’t buy it myself, as it was priced out of my range, so I snapped a photo and texted it to my mom.

Now you could say, “It’s just another from the same batch made in the 1970s!“, but when my mom picked it up, she was able to tell that it was definitely the one she owned. And after speaking with the woman behind the counter, she discovered a few other pieces of her stolen jewelry had recently been sold at their thrift shop boutique.  Even though she had to pay to get it back, she is very excited about having her necklace again.

I helped my mom get her favourite necklace back on 26 February 2015.
