It took me a while to get this photo and its a bit fuzzy, sorry – perhaps I should have just asked her, but I didn’t like to intrude. As a ring-wearing jewellery fan myself, I was struck by the precarious situation the ring had on this lean bony finger. I marveled at this (young) woman’s confidence, knowing from experience how easily a ring can be lost if one waves a hand suddenly. I liked the look, though, and I’ve since tried one of my own rings in that position. I quickly confirmed mine would just drop off while I walked along, or come off unnoticed in a pocket or handbag, or perhaps be thrown out with the rubbish. Just before our wedding I waved my arm on a beach, and my engagement ring flew off into the dry soft nearby. After a short search ourselves and with daylight fading, we obtained torches and help from a couple of nearby campers – and it took over an hour to find it.
