…and I thought this thread was dead a long time ago when several cool options were suggested that would work. As for your second assumption, it’s just silly. If I said “help me find a neat shirt” would you be surprised or offended if I said “oh, I like that one” to some of them and “that isn’t my style” to others? Why is it so problematic that I have criteria for something I’m looking for? If you don’t want to help, you don’t need to. Several things have been found which would work well, as I’ve said. I will end up buying one of them (probably after Christmas.) Anyway, it isn’t my fault if people have revived the thread, nor is it a “cry for attention.” :eyeroll:
There’s a perfectly good Pit thread for criticisms of the OP’s posting style; we don’t need to rehash anything here. This isn’t an advice thread, and we don’t need it hijacked anymore than it already has. Keep the criticisms and personal comments confined to the Pit.
Because you were instructed to do it, that’s why. And pretending that you don’t understand insults are not allowed outside the Pit isn’t going to fly. Any further discussion of this matter can be had in the Pit or ATMB. (And this includes everyone, not just Darth Nader.)
This is only one example. Several styles like this are to be found. Many are more cost effective. You slip the ring in so the band slides through the small slot, you can do this one handed. Because the ring hangs, it cannot come out if not manipulated out the slot sideways. It cannot fall out accidentally.
I howled with laughter that you can get one for “two women in your life!” and then realized that, oh, that probably means both your sisters or something. Not both your wives.
You could just use a regular chain necklace and attach the ring to it when you need to using a cow hitch. The trick is that you don’t need two have the bitter ends of the chain like the diagram shows. You can make it by putting a loop of chain through the ring and then opening the loop and slipping it around the ring. The knot will then form at the top of the ring. To take the ring back off just grab the chain where it is looped over the standing parts of the chain and pull it back over the bottom of the ring. Viola.
You could I suppose, but you don’t need to, unless you are perhaps flailing around with the necklace on. The ring cannot come out of the pendant without specifically sliding the ring through the narrow opening. You can only do this with the ring tipped so the narrow side of the band is the part going through the slot. If you add a lobster claw you cannot pop the ring in easily. You have to use both hands to manipulate the clasp.
Though, my necklace / jewelry holder is a bit simpler. I wear a vintage Art Deco broach as a pendant. The chain slides behind the safety pin style pin attached to the back. To use, I just open the pin one handed, slide my rings and watch onto the pin, close it, and there is no possible way that the rest of my jewelry can fall off of it. The pendant is large enough that you cannot even see the rings attached to the back side of it.
For those who like closure, my favorite thing in this thread was this: http://wedlockheart.com/
I left the web page open on my computer for a few days so I wouldn’t forget about it, intending to eventually buy it or write it down to buy it later, or whatever. But then I got sidetracked and didn’t.
Then on Christmas, I opened my present from Dan, and guess what it was?! He’d seen it up on my computer and bought it for me (hoping I hadn’t already ordered it for myself)
I’ve worn it ever since and it works GREAT. I go to weld, and stick my ring on there and it’s safe and sound. I go do to any other messy thing, the ring goes on, it stays safe, I don’t lose it, it’s with me, it’s exactly everything I wanted PLUS it looks really pretty all by itself as a necklace!
