Cameo Charm

Sometimes when I know I have a challenging day ahead of me I look to my jewellery box and pull out my good luck charm.

A few years ago my grandmother surprised me with this broach, which she received from her father when she was a teenager. My great-grandfather found the broach on the street one day while walking home from work. When he couldn't locate its original owner he gave it to my grandmother. Knowing how much I love cameos, my grandmother passed this broach on to me and it has become one of the most cherished pieces in my jewellery box.

I love the history behind this piece and I love how happy I feel while wearing it. This little piece of jewellery has become something like a secret weapon. Whenever I feel like I could use a little bit of a boost to make it through a particularly challenging day I put on my cameo broach and smile!
