Sounds great, just consider 1 thing. If by some horrible chance something happens to these pearls that is out of both of your control, will it effect your friendship?

If you know you will be able to accept that things happen and will know that your mother would have been proud, than offer her the pearls. But...

If you would be crushed & hurt or think it might leave you with any resentment towards your friend don't offer the pearls. There is no right or wrong, but make sure you have accepted the fact that something can happen to them even in the most responsible hands.

Good luck!

I think it is a great idea. As long as your friends understands she needs to return the necklace, and you're alright with her wearing the pearls, there is no problem. Your mother loved her and it will be a great honor to your friend to wear them. They can be her "something borrowed."

If you are willing to trust her and she gives it back or whatever then sure, why not? That could be her old borrowed gift or old gift, depends on if you give it to her or not but sounds like a good idea, especially if you mother loved her dearly.

You should let her get the pearls but make sure that you get them as soon as everything is over and done with.

Sounds like your already saying Yes, I want too but are just checking. I would say YES and ask her if she can give them back to you at the reception so you feel safe about it. I am sure she won't mind :)

You would do her a great honor Breezer. If she is truly a friend then you seal this friendship with this act of kindness and thoughtfulness.

What a thoughtful thing to consider doing, as long as you trust her, and if your mom loved her, then let her wear them.

If you want her to wear it, then go ahead and offer. I am sure it would mean a lot to her.

As long as you think they will be safe with her I see no reason way you shouldn't ask her to ware them

yes definitely.. i think that will make her so happy and feel so honored.. being this thoughtful is a wonderful thing!
