Farah Khalid inherited her mother's and sister's jewelry after their untimely deaths, which inspired her to create a necklace honoring their memories. Typically preferring silver, Khalid took a selection of smaller pieces to Lahore, Pakistan, where she remade them into a chain inscribed with her family's names in Urdu. This meaningful act reflects the cultural importance of gold in many Asian families, seen not merely as adornment but also as a liquid asset that carries familial and financial significance.
Khalid wanted to honor her family members by wearing their jewelry, but she typically preferred silver. She decided to take some of the smaller trinkets to Lahore.
Khalid explained, "Having their names on me out of something that they used to wear it just felt really important to be close to them in that way."
