The Jewelry and Memory Connection
Jewelry is important to us in many ways. It is symbolic of feelings and memorable events in our lives. Seeing and wearing special pieces of jewelry can make us feel close to loved ones and invoke vivid and precious memories.
When a momentous event occurs such as the birth of a child, anniversary, graduation, etc., jewelry is often given as a keepsake of congratulations. Upon such events, our brain produces a "flashbulb" memory, which is then stored in the memory bank of our brains. The piece of jewelry then serves as a constant reminder of the happy occurrence.
Oftentimes, because of the memory that is created and associated with a particular jewelry item, a person can remember the exact date and time of when they received the gift. This is the jewelry and memory connection and why it is common to hear people say they have a sentimental attachment to their jewelry.
Come in to see us for the jewelry to help you make memories.
