Grandma's bracelet, 1914

This was her prize for winning first place in a junior music contest. She played violin. I think she was about 12 or 13 and was a musician all her life. She had never had her own initials in the medallion, so she had mine incised and presented it to me when I was about that same age. I wore it regularly for many years - fortunately, my wrist was as skinny as hers.
