Episode notes
Richard's Wedding Ring And Past Cufflinks
- Richard wears a handmade gold wedding ring with a Celtic design from the Isle of Man and keeps it on his right hand because it won't fit his left.
- He used to wear cufflinks but now only wears normal-button shirts so he rarely uses them.
Ring Fit Can Override Tradition
- Cultural or personal reasons determine which hand people wear wedding rings on, and fit matters more than convention.
- Richard's ring sits on his right hand simply because it doesn't fit his left finger.
Jackie's Rings And Always-On Bracelets
- Jackie wears a matching wedding ring on her left hand plus her mother's plain gold band which is slightly redder and softer.
- She also never takes off two bracelets with dolphin designs that her parents gave her from Greece.
