I feel vindicated to read this. If I’m wearing a ring (or a bracelet) I can’t just let it sit on my hand - best case scenario, it becomes a fidget toy I constantly fiddle with, but that I’m also anxious about losing and/or breaking (especially if it’s expensive.) Such a small thing dominates way too much of my attention.
I curse the zeitgeist for making “Jewelry is a perfect default gift for every woman” a thing. Add in having sensitive skin that reacts to impurities in metal, and I have way too much jewelry that I never wear.
I, too, would be impressed by a pretty rock. Who needs absurdly expensive rings when you could have pretty rock 😌
(Plus, I’d always take a nice rock in my hand over the sensory nightmare of a ring on my finger)
I know someone who proposed with a hag stone
