Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @bazaarindia using @RepostRegramApp – What piece of jewellery do you treasure the most? For many it’s not about carat, cut, or clarity, but rather meaning. Earrings given by a much-loved late grandmother perhaps, or maybe a family heirloom passed down through generations. Here, we speak to five women about the pieces that they plan to pass on to their daughters. Lisa Ray, actor, model and author says, “I’ve chosen two pieces that hold a lot of sentimental value: This ring was passed on to me by my Polish grandmother. A lot of my family history is shrouded in mystery: My maternal grandmother was brought up in Minsk, which is part of present-day Russia, and many perished in the first and second World Wars. So I feel that this holds a strong family legacy. The second is a pair of earrings gifted to me by Farah Ali Khan @farahkhanali It has a lot of sentimentality for me already even though it’s not that old. I think that there’s an important distinction there: Sentiment doesn’t always have to be associated with how long you’ve had a piece. It’s about the intent and the energy that comes with it.” . .
