I am very scared that I will lose my ring. After all, my sister has lost three (!!!) and I am not exactly the least absent-minded person in the world.
The taking it off and putting on at home is bad enough - each day when I get home, I try to put it in the same place on the jewelery box. The first few weeks were fine, but I'm beginning to get sloppy - leaving it on difference tables and surfaces. The chances of it getting thrown out someday with the recycling is rather high.
I'm nearly certain, however, that I'll eventually lose it while on travel. At the hotel I put it in a prominent place with my watch - which I haven't lost in the 8 years I've been wearing it (but it's so much bigger than a ring!!!). So far, so good, but still, I worry.
I can't just wear it all day and night - it will get dirty/chipped/ugly if I keep it on for washing the dishes and taking a bath. Plus, I'm still not used to having it on. Actually, I'm just worried that I'm going to destroy it in daily living - I bang into walls/desks/pretty much all available abrasive surfaces with great regularity, and pearl is not known for its strength or hardness. I begin to perceive the beauty in a diamond's durability. Though, if we'd opted for a solitaire, I would've probably taken out someone's (my own!) eye by now...
Argh.

Insurance! :-)
I've only lost one ring so far, but I was surprised it took *that* long (over 4.5 years). I was constantly thinking to myself, "ring, ring, ring" whenever I took it off (to wash dishes, go to bed, etc.).
Anyway, I was able to get a replacement rather easily. I'm sure it's around here somewhere...
