<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10395863, member: 79705"]When working I didn't wear any jewelry at all because I'd rather not deglove a finger, choke myself, or damage jewelry. But I work with tools and lugging things around quickly. I had a friend who wore one of those silicone rings and it caught and snapped. It smushed his finger and he couldn't bend it for a week. So I just don't wear anything and talk about my husband constantly lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah. Not to the beach, or anything rough, or gross, and yes I don't wear necklaces to the dentist either! But for a regular errands outing ... Always.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reminds me a couple weeks ago I was having a solo walkabout downtown. I found a cute wedgwood dish at a charity thrift for $.50. I tried to pay and the manager told me to just take it. Then he asked what I would use it for and I said a trinket dish. He said "Well not with a really big diamond like on your hand!"</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie64" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I just responded "It's an illusion." My man, you gave this dish to me for free and now try to guilt me about my ring? First off, it's a mid-century piece of my grandmother's that has an illusion setting with 4 tiny diamonds around the center stone. Second, when she gave it to me she had to replace the lost center stone for the princely sum of $80. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
