I Love My Engagement Ring, But Sometimes Diamonds Aren't Always A Girl's Best Friend
When we got married right out of college, my future husband gave me a ring that had been in his family for generations. It was a plain gold band that came with a lot of history, and I was honored to wear it. For a couple of months.

By the time I was married a year, the ring was safely in a jewelry box and I have not worn it since.
