sentimental value
Heart over price
Sentimental value is the worth something holds because of personal or emotional associations rather than market price.
A grandmother's ring may have little monetary value but immense sentimental value: I'd never sell it—it has too much sentimental value.
The phrase typically appears with verbs like have, hold, or carry.
