Items I inherited from my paternal grandmother. The cufflinks were my father's.

Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome!

from a grandfather, cufflinks, tie clips, with semiprecious stones that he picked up while stationed in Korea.
He was an engineer, building runways for the war. He later became the head engineer for Nordstroms supervising construction of their new stores on the west coast.
