It is so great that your ring was returned to you. However, my sentiments are "wear it!" It was meant to find you after all of these years...why leave it in a jewelry box where no one enjoys it?
I asked for and just received my mom's wedding ring set from my sister who has had it stored for several years. (Mom passed away at age 92). I am going to take it to a jeweler's and have them clean it, repair it , and then I am going to wear the rings on a chain around my neck. I guess I am sentimental, but somehow it just makes me feel closer to my mom. I am sure that the dollar value is not much.....but to me, it's priceless.
