We have this wedding nose ring that we have been passing down from generation to generation. The day before the wedding the mother of the groom gives this nose ring to the bride for her wedding day. It was passed down from my ancestors and my mother is the current owner. This nose ring holds a lot of value in my family because it's very sentimental for everyone. It's also a tradition I brought from my home country from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia and now to America. The next owner of this object is my future sister in law. It's in our culture for the bride to wear a nose ring but in our family it's been passed down by every woman of the house to a new woman of the house.
