Wedding rings

[meriad]

Julie, my sister, and I talked it over when Mum died and decided to let her rings go with her.............she'd never taken them off in all those years and we didn't want her to meet up with my dad again not wearing them......daft I know

(((hug)))) no, not daft at all - a very thoughtful and beautiful thing to have done I think

Well we were poor when we got married, so we bought a second hand 22 carat wedding ring for £50 for me I never took it off my finger for 27 years until I had to have it cut off due to arthritis. Now it is too big really, but I still wear it all the time.
I also have a lovely engagement ring which we bought from a tiny shop in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham and an eternity ring that Mr L bought me in Guernsey

I only wear a wedding ring when I am going out dancing or when I am cruising. It was my MIL which I had altered so that it would fit me.
I will not wear one all the time as I have seen someone injured wearing one at work and have heard of other people having similar injuries.

You're right in a way Cruiser, Grumpy didn't wear a ring from his first marriage as he worked on buiklding sites as a carpenter.

I flogged my first wedding ring can't remember what happened to the engagement ring - well, it wa a long tiume ago.

Grumpy and I both wear gold rings, matching bits on the side, scolloped or something, but mine has worn down. And the engagement ring has had to be re-built - worn down again, all that washing up

I also have 2 eternity rings - one that we bought before I was actually divorced and the other one, I bought myself because I liked it.

Loz, my engagement ring came from the jewellery quarter too - I never wear it now but I do love it still

As you will have noted from the wedding day thread, my ring came off my finger almost immediately

I do love it now, especially as I wear mostly silver. But it wouldn't break my heart if I lost it, (well the cost of replacing it would as it is platinum).

I really wanted an eternity ring for my Silver Anniversary but I got a bag instead, far more useful

I think the reason I might not have got my eternity ring is due to the fact Mr Shell bought me a beautiful white and yellow gold with three diamonds ring for my 40th. The minute that ring went on my finger things went wrong so I refuse to wear it. He is very much once bitten twice shy is my husband
