@caitlinrgreen interestingly even now pure silver ornaments can be found in our homes :) i remember my grandmother had some such utensils
@Umarkarim89 indeed, and brought out for special occasions...! :)
@caitlinrgreen haha yes yes. like bathing a newly born :D or having a grand family dinner :) my grandmother had big gold bangles also
@Umarkarim89 gold and silver really do have an enduring hold on the human imagination! :)
@caitlinrgreen exactly although we sold that jewelry and gave the money in charity so that her soul may benefit from this good deed:)
@Umarkarim89 that sounds like a very good thing to have done :)
@caitlinrgreen yeah it was indeed at least we all felt ourselves contented by that
