My cherished object is a beautiful gold silver necklace with tiny clear diamonds and it glisten's in the bright sun. First my grandma had it then it was passed on to my wonderful Aunt Tracey. Then after a while my aunt gave it to my mom. It's about 67 years. If anything that old gets past on to me I'd give it to my children and if it does not break they could give it to their children. I think It's special because it has been past on to many people.
