I’m Certain I’d Lose It !

finger ring

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.
