This is one of my mom and Dad's first wedding bands. My Dad gave it to me a few years ago. I wear it as a reminder of my covenants, to my parents, wife, and children. It is of simple solid Sterling Silver like our relationships.
If you look closely at our wedding photo,, I am wearing a gold wedding band. I was too poor to purchase wedding bands. Bonnie had a gold ring she stretched and remade for me as a wedding gift. It was beautiful, of high gold content. It was very soft and did not endure well. I wore it out completely. After that, I wore a C.T.R Ring for years thas was another gift from my wife. It too did not endure. This ring is al least 80 years old and still like new.
I think we need to build sterling silver relationships that will last and endure the test of time. Nothing about this ring would attract you to it in a pawn shop. Still, it has lasted this many years. It is a strong as the day my parents first bought it probably in a pawn shop.
