Is it normal to collect fake wedding rings?
This habbit started because I work with my hands, and I volunteer at an animal shelter. I used to wear my wedding ring set everywhere. I didn't seem to take into consideration that gold can get scratched or dented. When I lost weight and got my ring resized, it was like brand new again, so I didn't want to get it all dirty and scratched again. I was tempted to not ever wear it, but I want people to know I am married, and I like the look of my diamonds, i don't want to wear a plain band. Instead, I got a fake ring set. It's not something dirt cheap from Clairs, it is solid silver and cubic zirconias, it was about $60, and looks similar to my real one. And, I am not ashamed to tell people it's fake if they ask (even though most people think it's real).
Anyway, I am nothing like those bridezillas on tv that can't be satisfied. I like the looks of many styles of rings, and it's hard for me to pick one as my favorite. Since the fake rings are affordable, and silver tarnishes after a while, I just sort of got in the habbit of continuing to buy them if I see one I like. I still wear my real one if I am not washing dogs or digging around in the dirt or changing my oil, and I have three fake ones now. Do other women wear fake rings too sometimes?
