A few weeks after I started work, I started getting a rash from my wedding rings. I thought this was pretty weird so I started doing some research and thought maybe some moisture got trapped under my rings and caused a rash.Then I was thinking maybe since now I'm working and washing my hands a million times a day, I had just simply dried out my hands and putting on my rings after work caused the rash.
Since there is not a store where Travis got my ring in Medicine Hat, we took it in to Lethbridge to see what they could do.
Apparently when you get a ring, it is supposed to be coated with something...anyways, mine wasn't and combined with dry hands and a slight allergic reaction (My sister has always reacted to silver and gold...so I guess I must be a little allergic too!) my rings needed to be sent off.
Not wearing my wedding rings for 2 weeks was an interesting experience. First off, it made me sad, because I love my rings! Secondly I felt like a heathen. Every time Travis and I went out to dinner or to the movies, people would look at his wedding ring...and then notice I didn't have one on.
Anyways! I got my rings back and they have never been shinier! I am so glad I no longer have to fear those looks anymore!!
I know what you mean about feeling like a heathen-- "ring checks" on everyone you talk to are pretty much standard in Utah. When I had to leave my rings at the jeweler for a few days whenever Sam and I would go out and do coupley-things I would always get the staredown!
