Funny story: My folks lived with the "NO jewelry" mandate for many years, especially my dad. So it was quite the surprise when he bought my Ma some very nice diamond earrings for her 50th B-day. He told me it was one of the best gifts he ever got her (with a subtle wink).

So are your parents no longer with a conservative group?

They were never that conservative, but were part of a very conservative church for several years. My dad was more of a free thinker, albeit still very conservative, and my Ma tended to do what the pastor said. But.... women, even conservative ones, still like "pretty" things, so she was blown away by the earrings. You couldn't have gotten a more unexpected gift from my dad.
