    I always wear a pin, about 1"-1 1/4"w on the collar of my coat or
    jacket. It never comes off unless I switch it for another. I also
    where a rather large ring as my wedding ring. It has an 11mm
    stainless ball baring and a small .4pt diamond at the top. My wife
    wears an identical ring. 

    I never wear jewelry when I work or teach. It seems to get in the
    way and I don't want to damage it in any case. 

    I think it's important to wear your work. I see it as a promotional
    opportunity and have sold similar pieces after conversations begun
    about what's on my finger. 

    A friend who purchased a large ring from me was telling me just the
    other day that whenever she wears the ring it invariably begins
    conversations. She said that she has to be in an outgoing mood when
    she puts the ring on since she knows it will engender a dialogue. 

    That's a powerful quality that is specific to jewelry and a really
    wonderful thing. 

Take care, Andy
