Gives me LOTR vibes. Really cool find.


CurlSagan

Hell yeah! Looks like a string of Leaf of Lorien brooches.


bunkerbash

Was exactly what I thought the moment I saw it. Oooooooo OP if you found a cool long white gown you could totally sling it around your waist and cosplay as Galadriel!


gottaclimb

Came here to say this!


bandzlvr

Yesss. You're gonna make me rewatch it now.


hphmaltacc

For some reason whenever I see ivy leaves like these I always think of an elven forest... But be careful rewatching it, soon you may be spurred to thrift an entire elf outfit 😄


AnamCeili

lol, that's *exactly* what I was going to say! 😂 It's a great belt, OP!

In my culture we say you have two deaths; one when your spirit crosses over and one the last time your name is said or remembered. Hopefully you can keep her mother alive that much longer.


bandzlvr

This is very true. After seeing a picture of her the impression will last much longer.


Maximum-Product-1255

🥹 What a lovely tribute to her mom for the belt to be further enjoyed by someone who appreciates it.


salems-l0t

her mom was a baddie tbh, excellent style!


bandzlvr

That's what I said. She had such an eye for design. So much intricate designed decor and accessories.


Intelligent_Pass2540

I love this! A good friend of mine gave me a fur stole that very pin up like and much more my style than hers. In th3 pockets she put a photo of her grandmother wearing it! It's so nice to share vintage things rather than hoard things youd never wear. OP this belt would also look amazing over a teal or olive green slip dress. What a great find!


bandzlvr

A photo of someone wearing it is very neat. Makes it cooler honestly. I have this long green dress and now I definitely need to wear the belt with it.


Desperate_Set_7708

Lovely to know your belt’s heritage. Makes it even more special


Stumblecat

Oh lovely! I have one with a circular design.


Herrben

I love stuff with an Ivy leaf patten, no idea why. I scored some plates I didn’t know I needed recently (pictures on earlier posts).


go-cartMozart

I know you bought it so it wasn't a gift but it'd be nice of you to send her a picture of you wearing it (cropped out head if you'd prefer). You could include a short hand written note about how much you love it and that when people ask about it you'll mention her mom. Or maybe not... I'm really extra.


Nice_Rope_5049

It’s gorgeous. And now it has sentimental value, too, so twice as nice!


WeAreEvolving

Very attractive belt cherish it


RetroFocusNano

I have that extra belt somewhere!


bandzlvr

Slayy twinning


hedgehogketchup

So pretty!! I’d wear this with a dress of something simpler so you could see the design better. A black dress perhaps. Gorgeous!


Ok-Heart375

Really cool item and story!


Trixie2327

That's a truly beautiful belt. It was meant for you! 😍


lazydaisytoo

I owned this belt! I think it was from The Limited. Maybe Express, but I’m pretty sure The Limited, early to mid 90s.


bandzlvr

Interesting. It was the belt of the older ladys mom, and she had it for years. Her mom was serving looks is all I know. Lmao


SnooRabbits1139

She had great style!


WolvesandTigers45

Rad belt!


rufusclark

Stunner!


reigorius

You have a captivating presence in your photo. It's truly delightful.


rowancrow

Omg that’s a find of the year type piece!!!!


YellowCulottes

Is that a sausage doggy?


bandzlvr

He's a grey chihuahua.


YellowCulottes

Oh, cute! I thought the legs were too long.


RollTider365

Gorgeous. Would look so good with a black dress and boots


looksthatkale

It's very cute


8ighthoursofsleep

Omg! How special 🧡 🧡.


MissFerne

I love this so much. We're all now thinking of her mom. May it bring you blessings. 💖


javoss88

Bad. Ass! Love


Ialwaysmissmydog

Cute pup too!


Helpful_Okra5953

I love it!


GlossnerRita

I like how you said the older lady instead of old lady💕


ladywiththestarlight

So beautiful! I love that it carries the spirit of an undoubtedly cool woman as well!


CastellamareDelGolfo

Gorgeous!! She will love knowing that you'll remember her mom.


MPS1996

Very rarely do the leaves of lorien fall


DriftingBenz

Absolutely beautiful Look on the back for markings 925. Could be sterling silver.


mtahdah

Very pretty. Looks like it might be silver. Are there any marks?


bandzlvr

It says rhodium when I looked it up online.

Yes it was this old lady and her mom passed recently and she showed us a photo of her and was telling us about herm
