In May I lost my wedding ring :( I keep hoping it is going to turn up in the house. I had lost it before because it was a bit too big, and slipped off when my hands were wet and cold. Previous places it turned up were in the dryer, in a cooking pot (at the bottom of some liquid), and once, in a snowbank which we had to search through. Why I didn't get it resized after the snow bank I don't know, it was dumb of me.
My ring is mostly the sentimental value though- we bought it after I proposed to Mr W (I had a custom ring made for him). The ring I choose had a beautiful piece of Arizona turquoise in it, and was made by a local artist in Arizona where we were living. Total cost $100.
I would really like to have a ring, and feel a little unmarried at times when I am out, although I shouldn't, it is more a symbol. And I miss my ring!!!
I am not sure what to do next. A friend suggested another hand made ring bought here where we are living now, around the same price range. I see the cost of some wedding rings these days and realize if I am prone to losing my ring I had better not ever spend $1000's of dollars on one! I guess I am still hoping that one day I may move a piece of furniture and find my ring somewhere in the house. Maybe :) But I am beginning to lose hope....
It's nice to have something different.
I think a lot of the traditional rings are overpriced really, they can charge incredible price for just about anything related to weddings as people tend to go a bit nuts and blow the budget.
Eventually it completely disappeared, and we suspect that our kitten ate it :-(
I hope you find it.
