A Family Heirloom Causes Controversy

A pearl necklace passed down from generations causes controversy in a family as a mother gives it to her son. The necklace has sentimental value as it was brought to America by a great-great-grandmother who fled Germany. However, the mother’s son wears different types of outfits, including elegant and classy jewelry, but no pearls. When the mother gave the pearls to her son, he became emotional, and the mother felt good about her decision. However, her cousin, who is her mother’s niece, was livid and claimed that the pearls should have gone to her or her sister if they went to anyone. The cousin’s perspective is not understood as the mother’s son wears jewelry and the chain was already broken when the mother died without a daughter. This event has helped the mother move forward in processing her grief and has made it more doable for her to go through her parents’ other things. What do you think of the situation?
