    Yeah, I'm sure you're right. I bought my husband a piece of
    artist-made jewelry years before I made jewelry... I have no idea
    where it is now. He wore it a couple times when I insisted. And I
    made his wedding ring, also very personal and appropriate to him.
    That's in his desk drawer. He doesn't even wear a watch. 

    I just was thinking that if Tiffany or De Beers latched onto this
    idea and promoted it the way they have the right-hand ring, it could
    maybe stir up some new demand. 

    Plus it bothers me that women wear a token that says they're taken,
    but men are unmarked, as it were. Many don't even wear a wedding
    ring. Conversely, in this day and age, why should a man have to
    shell out for a diamond ring and women not? I believe in equality,
    no matter who it does or does not benefit or convenience. 

    Oh well. 

Noel
