how wonderful to have such heirlooms -but boo on the price to get them repaired!
last summer i spent 5 weeks at a lakehouse, and i was really nervous about wearing my real wedding ring in the water, on boats, etc since i knew we would be really active and i could end up losing a diamond or even the ring itself. so - i went to a department store and bought a fake ring for $45 or something - and now i still wear it a LOT! LOL! and no one knows it's fake - haha - i get complements on it ALL.THE.TIME - i always confess it's fake though
