Fake ring

[jethrien]

So I bought an incredibly cheap ring at Claire's (actually five rings for $8.50 because they came as a set) to wear in place of my engagement and wedding rings while backpacking. (There's no way I'm taking a sapphire into the backcountry, but I still don't want to get hit on in the airport.) I'm actually wearing it today, because I'm going away for the weekend on a trip that involves a lot of pools and lakes and waterslides and other places it would be easy to lose a nice ring.

I've been wearing my class ring for almost seven years, my engagement ring for six, and my wedding ring for nearly five. I'm currently wearing just one very smooth, very light ring and it feels weird. Kind of naked.

One of my favorite stores for this type of stuff is Accessorize. LOVE their stuff :-P

In this particular case, I wasn't so much looking for "cute" as just trying to find a ring that fit and didn't have a two-inch flower stuck to it. :)

What? You mean you didn't want something that could get caught in all sorts of things????

I really should have gotten the one in pink fake gold that had holes for three fingers and consisted of a rhinestone-encrusted snake that stretched completely across the back of your hand.

Sweet. I say go all out and just get the brass knuckles - with flowers on them. :-D

A wedding ring for polyandrists...

If it was also $8, you should have--it'd be an excellent cosplay accessory one day.
