All this talk about engagement rings has made me think about this again.
I seem to have quite a lot of rings which have been passed down through the family. Combined they must be worth quite a lot and I am considering selling them as I am simply not a jewelry person. I feel in a quandary about this because they were given to me by my mother (and she never wore them either). I have noone who would want them so I think the money might be more useful than rings that never see the light of day and would probably end up being sold anyway when I depart.
I am not all hard and uncaring - I do wear my mother's wedding ring on my little finger (but I lost my own over 25 years ago and haven't replaced it!!).
my son got married in june he had my dads wedding ring edge in white gold it looks lovely and its so nice that instead of sitting in my drawer he has it as his wedding ring ,my mum and dad would be so pleased
