My wife does the same thing. In the pot will be her platinum set engagement and wedding ring. I got her a watch winder for her watch so at least that is separated now. Oh well, scratches add character.

I was called to one of the condos where a bunch of women were having a girls only ski trip to celebrate one to the woman's recent divorce. One of them set her ring to soak in a glass by the sink. Another decided to do the dishes and everything was poured down the disposal. And, it was turned on... We tore the drains apart and only found some glittery pieces of gold and some sparkling pieces of dust. Apparently it was a large and expensive ring that was a significant chunk of the settlement. There was a "little" tension in the room when I left!

I always wondered if the ex-husband had some serious schadenfreude after that one!

Like I said in that other recent thread Doc, your Platona looks good after four years, but you pamper it...relatively speaking.

If my wife wore a watch, I could see a similar picture in my house. As it is, her rings end up in a shot glass for storage

I just bought my wife her first DJ. Let's see how she treats it. Her Movados were thrown around worse than what your wife did. And women are supposed to be the neat ones.
