Good evening.I have or still have a nice collection of turquoise rings.
When I got married a couple of years ago.I gave up wearing them.
Since I got my wedding band.I was crazy about turquoise and lost interest in itThis is my small collection of turquoise ring.
The one in my middle finger is the one that I bought in Santa Fe.
This was the last day of my trip .
It is a vintage ring in the forties.
Pay a good price but worth it to me.
The woman was very nice and gave me an discount and a polishing cloth.
I know this is a sales pitch.
Liked the ring.
Now the rings sit in my my box.
Not sure what to do with them.Maybe sell them etc.
I find this weird and why did I lose interest in them.
the photo is my hand and ring collection.
Anyone else here wear turquoise ring or any kind.

I do not wear any kind of jewellery. My wife did buy me a massive gold diamond ring one time. I was horrified. She asked if I liked it I had to be honest and tell her well actually NO. How very bizarre as she knows I never wear stuff since I lost my wedding ring.

Do you want to wear them again? Would your daughters like them? I'd hang on to them rather than sell them, even if you aren't wearing them. :)

I guess sometimes things are really a fad even if they are personal ones. Those are nice looking rings. We have a lot of Native Americans around here that make turquoise rings and necklaces like that. They are really well made by hand.

I don't know why we lose interest in such things. You were probably gaining interest in other things! Those are very nice. I am more into the smaller jewelry. I'm sure you can find buyers.

You cold always get them appraised so you what value there is. If you don't wish to sell, you can leave to your partner, children and grandchildren.

I had a real turquoise necklace and caught it on something and broke it. I loved that ring but bad things happened and this year im again having a good year so maybe I can afford to have it restrung.for almost two yeas in the old owners time I owed a lot of momey here as social security decided that they had over paid me and my explanation was disregarded. i had a hearing then last year with a federal judge who heard our side of the charges and overruled all the charges; May of this year social security finally paid me the last two thousand one hundred forty one dollars they owed me. with the new owners that ugly past was mot inherited so I now longer am a hated
person here. that feels so good.

I mostly just wear my engagement ring and wedding band. Some times I'll wear other rings but not very often. I used to wear makeup too and really don't bother with it anymore. It's such a pain to get it off. I think your rings are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Why not just wear one every now and then for old times sake? They are too nice to sell
