QotD: Gift From A Parent - the Amethyst Necklace

What gift from a parent do you remember the most?
Submitted by jorge456.

I remember receiving a simple amethyst solitaire necklace when I was young. It wasn’t particularly valuable but it was the first time my mom had given me jewelry and I really liked that because my parents were very conservative and this was an extravagance for them. We were on a trip and I wore it everywhere, but somehow I lost it. I cried because I wanted them to know that I had really appreciated the gift and so I made a big fuss over the loss even though it wasn’t that big of a deal to me. But mom commented to dad that if I was going to get this overly emotional about a simple piece of jewelry that maybe I wasn’t ready for that kind of gift. And that was the end of that.
