Jewelry has all sorts of different symbolism. My three girls (being my wife and daughters) have add a pearl necklaces that gets a pearl added every birthday. There are many other examples.

I suppose it's just what you choose to commemorate with jewelry.

Let me see if I have this right. You are commemorating the conversation. Having a birthday - or, by extension, graduating from high school or retiring from work - are milestones to be counted alongside "had the sex talk".

I find that interesting, mostly because I knew about sex as soon as I knew about anything else in this world and learned the details gra. As for lessons on moderation, each thing in it's own time, politeness and modesty and love....I got those every single day as well. I could never attribute my stance on sex from one conversation with my parents, or one moment of "decision".

You could try counter by saying weddings and wedding rings are the same deal, but a wedding really is a change, a turning of a corner. If you were sexually active and decided to quit getting laid (and I do mean "decided"), that would make more sense to me as a "jewelry moment". Much how like AA members celebrate their "birthday".
