Charlotte's Bracelets and brooch

Charlotte's Bracelets and brooch. They must have been in my Gran's possession, and Aunty Sylvia found them when they were clearing the bungalow at Tarrandean. One year, when we were visiting , she gave them to me. She also gave me the family photo album where I saw the photo of Charlotte wearing the bracelets. They have no monetary value but have great sentimental value to me.

Charlotte is wearing the bracelets. We wonder if her father, Richard made them from the tin that he mined.

A tale of three engagement rings

When I was a small child my Gran Pascoe told me about her mother who had died aged 28, and showed me her engagement ring. remembering this when I became engaged I wanted a similar ring to my Great Grandmother's. Then in 1985 my Gran Perkin died and I was given her engagement ring, again two diamonds and a ruby. What a coincidence!
