Default Bought a Veterans Ring

With all these years, I have never bought a ring. Pretty good, very solid. Stripes and Stars on the flag are a bit raised.

Sterling silver, 18k gold trim and enamel on the flag. Rank and name engraved on the inside.

I think if we can simply re-name Ft. Bragg, Ft. Hood, and other historic military installations, we can delete a few stripes and a few stars, don't you think? Probably all tied in with the '1619 project' and DIE.

I was going to make a joke about it being when he served, but didn't want to risk being disrespectful.

Been wearing this Jostens 10K gold aquamarine stone since 2001 when I made Chief. I wear it all the time when I go out, but not around the house. Jostens has a life time guarantee, sent it back because I chipped the stone, they replaced with new, no charge or shipping.

Agree.

I don't do the jewelry thing. No rings. No watch. No neck chain. Zero. Zip.
Hell, I don't even like keys or change in my pocket. And I don't carry a wallet.

I wear my college ring. Not a big name school but I am proud to have graduated.
Worked full time and went to school full time for my last two years. Also got married during that time

i have several to choose from.....

at present, i wear my wedding ring on my left ring finger, and a silver ring with a Christian cross on it on my right ring finger. also wear 2 necklaces under my shirt, one a gold cross inset with diamonds from my mom and grandmother, and a shorter chain with my wife's wedding ring and a ring from my mom.

both rings were given to me by my wife, so they, and the necklaces have meaning to me.
