在我收集的飾品當中，有其中兩件對我來說意義特別重大。

There're two specially meaningful pieces among the jewelleries I have collected.

第一件飾品來自我好友Belinda的花花珍珠系列，是一條純銀鍍金的項鍊。它是我因為有好好努力打拚，而第一次買給自己作為獎勵的禮物。選購這條項鍊的原因有二：我很喜歡它簡約又有氣質的設計，優雅勾劃出來的花瓣裡，包裹著一顆圓潤光澤的珍珠。一看到它，就能提醒我無論面對著什麼，只要保持著微笑和信心，遇到不如意時也不必焦急。因為就像花一樣，我只需要做讓自己感到快樂和溫暖的事情，當時機到了我也能綻放。

另外，項鍊是由我朋友親手打造的這一點更是給這個項鍊添上不少分，我們常常向對方傾訴和安慰彼此，見證著互相的成長。我們都為彼此的成就感到自豪，所以為了擁有一個標記著我們友誼的物件我就買下這條項鍊了。

The first piece is a gold-plated sterling silver necklace from my friend Belinda's Fruity Pearl collection.It was the very first reward I'd ever bought myself to celebrate being hard working. I bought it for two reasons, first would have to be its simple yet elegant design, gracefully outlined petals wrapped around a lustrous pearl. Once I see it, it reminds me to keep smiling and be confident in myself no matter what happens. Just like flower, I need to focus on things  that bring me warmth and happiness, and when the time comes I can bloom eventually.

Moreover, the fact that it was handcrafted by my friend adds a lot more value to it. We have been there for each other going through lows and highs, and now being proud. I think this gorgeous necklace could perfectly remarks our friendship.

第二件飾品是我媽媽送我的一枚戒指，如果我只可以選一件首飾，我一定會選擇它。

有一次我回家吃飯時，媽媽突然拿出了這枚戒指，說這是她年輕時因為想要打扮得比較酷，所以就買了這枚設計風格上比較簡約硬朗的戒指。而她覺得這很適合我，所以就送了給我。雖然得到它的故事不是特別有意思，但是對於不是跟家人一起住的我，只要看到它我就會想起我可愛的媽媽。而媽媽可是這世界上很偉大無私的存在。

The second piece is a ring that my mother gave me, a ring of choice if I ever have to only choose one.

During dinner one night, my mother pulled out this ring and shared its story,  she purchased this simple, tough-looking ring back when she was young and wanted to look cool. Now she thinks it can fit me well so she gifted it to me. The story behind is not particularly meaningful, but for the person who isn't living with her family, it always reminds me of my lovely mother.

And mother is a great and selfless existence in this world.

這兩件飾品都是我日常必戴的百搭款，看起來很簡單但卻飽含著我和朋友和家人之間的深切聯繫，所以在不同的場合上我都會佩戴著它們。

Both of these pieces are versatile pieces that I could wear every day. They might look simple but are filled with the deep connections I have with my friends and family, so I wear them even on different occasions.
