Default Wedding band

I wear my wedding band "almost" every day. I wear it tied on a leather cord around my neck, long enough to stay tucked inside my shirt at all times.

I do have to remove it sometimes at work when I am in packaging, an induction heater will do a number on any metal jewelry nearby (or so I've been told) I dont want to be the one testing out how close it really has to be.

at a previous job we had an induction heater for shrink fit tooling collets. while messing around we almost melted a Browne and Sharpe scale in about one second. it turned red and bent like well done pasta. imagine it was a ring on a finger.......that would be some serious burns.
