I have found nice silver rings and jewelry over the years which, with a good polishing up, should make for nice gifts to a special family person and a select few special friends. How many of our "loved ones", real people, would you say, would actually wear these gifts? The time and effort, as fun as it was and still is for me, in finding these items, still has me somewhat protective of the items.
I sit here now and look at a James Avery heart ring I found, still tarnished but perfect for refurbishing. I have seen what a nice ring can look like after a proper shining up, after I gifted one to a friend, my friend put a really good shine on the ring. It looked nice on his wife's hand, and I was proud.
Do people really appreciate a jewelry gift which we find in the dirt, or is it still a "dirty" gift and will end up in a drawer or sold?
Goofy question, sorry.
