Proper care and feeding of rings?

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

Does anyone on my f-list wear a ring? The rings that Doris and I picked out should be ready soon, and I've never worn a ring that had a precious stone in it. I've heard that I should take the ring off when I put hand lotion on. What about when I wash my hands?

When do you take your ring off? What should I be careful of?

I personally do want to do *something* to celebrate the event. Doris doesn't like big events. But we both love forest preserves, so I was hoping that I could present the ring to her at a secluded spot at a forest preserve and say a few words there.

Oh, that will be really beautiful, really special.

Next time I go to the forest preserve I have in mind, I'll have to take pictures so I can show you how gorgeous it is. I can't do it justice with words, other than to marvel at its valleys and wild flowers and marsh and thick forest and the occasional deer I've spotted. The most breathtaking view at this place has a bench overlooking the deep valley. Maybe if we get there and the bench is unoccupied...
