    WHAT a fluff-up!  If it's important to keep the nature of the beast
    quiet to please the giver, and protect the wearer from contact, why
    not just coat it with a minimally-obvious plastic or resin coating
    that can be renewed as necessary. If the giver wants to know why it's
    coated, simply say, You said it was valuable and I didn't want to
    cause wear that would damage it. Honesty can be taken too far - you
    don't walk up to a 400-lb woman and tell her she ought to lose
    weight. Well, you don't if you want to live very long.
