Being born in 1939, the year the Second World War began, my Grandma for the first six years of her life, saw incredibly little of her father as he fought in the war. This meant that she became very close to her mother. So when it came to her 16th birthday and she was given this ring from her mother, you can only imagine just how valuable it was to her. I remember being told that they did not have much money back in those days, and so although it wasn't an expensive piece of jewellery, to me it is the most valuable. When I turned 16 my Grandma handed down this ring to me, and treasure it along with the story that comes with it.
