The ring is a part of teacherbailey's life. It doesn't sound as if there is any bitterness left from the marriage/divorce. Why not incorporate it into a wallhanging if the kids don't want it?
Novice.for.now, I love your idea of a family tree.

If you don't want to sell that ring, donate it to charity. I am sure the money for it could do a lot of good.

I still have my ring from marriage #1, and my current hubby has his. We also have some old dental gold and other old pieces. We plan to send them in together when gold is high again and take a vacation with the proceeds. Kind of a cleansing. I wouldn't want to look at mine on the wall. Just sayin' ...

I'm a crafter and quilter who loves, loves, loves using "found" or "weird" objects in small quilts.... So how could I use my ring? It's simple white gold with no stones. I would love to incorporate it into a picture or an abstract quilt of some sort, wall-size, not bed size.
I appreciate your ideas, the crazier the better.....logical ideas wanted, too!
Thanks!!!!!

And I think using it in a quilt is fantastic.
