Neckace from Germany

Back in 1987-1988, I was an exchange student in Henstedt-Ulzburg, Germany (right outside of Hamburg). It was an absolutely amazing year. When I was about to leave, the family I lived with gave me this beautiful necklace. I still wear it all the time -- and think of them whenever I do. Fortunately, we still stay in contact. Brian and I visited a few years ago with H. And I'm getting excited to talk to my host-sister this weekend (yeah, Skype). But this necklace -- it's definitely one of my favorite things. (Front says "Angie"; Back says "Deine deutsche Famile (Your German Family)").
