Maybe I should wear it on vacations in case I get robbed or something.
I had to have mine cut off around 1985 or so during a mishap and she made me get it repaired. Just a simple gold band with a now barely visible inscription with our wedding date. The outside brushed finish is worn smooth and it's far from round, rather battered and beat up, kind of like us. I think she thought the inscription might help if I forgot and if it's off for any reason, like a minor flesh wound I had on that finger from the damn thing a few months back she notices.

I used to take it off all the time working on electrical gear and never wore it during work hours, and never seemed to have trouble finding it at the end of the day.

OTOH, she "lost" her engagement ring and I was lucky enough to buy her a newer, bigger, shinier one several years ago to kinda sorta match the marriage band.
