It is often said that the finger on which a person chooses to wear their rings can reveal much about their character. For instance, individuals who wear a ring on their middle finger are considered to be friendly and dependable in their relationships. Whether this is true or not is uncertain, but one thing is clear: those who wear such jewelry certainly have their own reasons and stories to share.
“He gave me the ring when I was young. We thought the ring was made of brass, but when we took it in to a jeweler out of curiosity, they told us that the ring was made of 18-karat gold.”
INSURE INSURE INSURE...run as fast as you can to have this ring appraised and get insurance coverage for this absolutely gorgeous ring. Believe me, you will not regret the decision to do this. I know because I have experienced the loss of most of my jewelry collection from a theft that can NEVER BE REPLACED.
“It is 14k gold with diamonds, confirmed by a local jeweler.”
Yes it would make a beautiful pendant in my opinion
“Any ideas on how to reset or modernize, or style as is? I’m at a loss given the size. A pendant maybe? It makes me a little sad to just have it gathering dust! Jewelry is meant to be worn.”
“His grandmother inherited it, eventually passing it to my husband while we were dating, saying, ‘Either give this to her or give it back to me.’ His grandmother never wore the ring, and I haven’t changed anything about it since my husband gave it to me two years ago. It’s a bit flashy, but I adore it.”
“My great-grandmother gave daily meals to an old, unmarried school teacher of rather well off origins, despite having absolutely nothing to give herself. The teacher couldn’t cook for herself, clean or garden; as thanks, she gave my great-grandmother this ring, and it’s been in the family since.”
“My great-grandfather grew up 1 of 13 kids. They were so poor they didn’t have food. He had to quit school in 8th grade to work. He loved school and had wanted to go to college so badly, but was never able to afford it. He always read a lot and loved learning new things. He worked and opened his own grocery store, which he ran the rest of his life. It was very important to him that his kids have the opportunity to go to college. He was so proud of my grandmother when she graduated.”
“The story is that when we visited my husband’s homeland for the first time, he found a ring that his mother had long forgotten. The ring made me fall in love at first sight, it’s also a family heirloom.”
