English term or phrase: heirloom

Genuine Full Carat *Heirloom* Ruby Pendant

Das ist der Gewinn in einem Preisausschreiben, daher garantiert kein Erbstück.

Was wäre hier eine schicke Übersetzung? Ich kenne mich leider mit Schmuck überhaupt nicht aus.

Ganz vielen Dank im Voraus!

2 hrs confidence:

heirloom (here) Luxus, wertvoll

Explanation:
Es handelt sich wohl nicht um die normale Bedeutung (Erbstück), sondern um eine von cleverem Marketing erfundene Abwandlung, die zur Teilnahme am Preisausschreiben verlocken soll, in der Hoffnung, dass man etwas Wertvolles bekommt. Das Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary (s. link) definiert heirloom u.a. als: "something of special value handed on from one generation to another". Laesst man den 2.Teil weg, bleibt "something of special value" uebrig, was hier wohl gemeint ist. Die Verbindung von Erbstück und (wertvollem) Schmuck wird z.B. auch von einer schottischen Schmuckfirma gemacht (s. link).
