Whether someone is materialistic or not, you cannnot help but get attached to some of your "things" as you go through life. Sometimes the individual thing changes. One object that comes to mind that does hold special meaning to me is a costume-type necklace I got from my maternal grandmother. It does not have any valuable jewels or made of gold or silver. It is almost a choker sized necklace. It has off white beads and a a bamboo- like pieces connected by gold links. This description doesn't entirely do it justice. It is a pretty piece of jewelry and can be adapted to just about anything I wear. The necklace looks better with more "dressy" outfits than casual wear, but it still looks great no matter what.
The real value to me is that it was my grandmother's and it dates back into the 1920s, when she was young. It has the elegant look of a lot of the dresses that were in style from that time. Silly or not, it always reminds me of my grandmother, whom we called "Momason," to differentiate her from my paternal grandmother. Momason was a cool grandma. She was almost always upbeat, happy to see you, and had a variety of interests. So it's just a nice remembrance of her.
I don't wear it often, eventhough it is a fairly sturdy necklace.
Obviously or perhaps not, I cannot describe it by taste or sound. Just its appearance, feel, and meaning explain it.
