Depends. More antiques have got a history.
It's like saying if you use your nan's ring (which a lot of people choose to do) then she pretty died in that and has got crusty death dust all over it.

If the ring was amazing then I don't think it matters too much.

I wouldn't wear a wedding ring anyway.

My dad never wore his ring due to him used to being a printer and loads of people would get their fingers pulled off.

Then again what do you expect at the gents urinals...

I can't wait for her to put it on me at the church. The vicar will probably get a right Collar-On.

I've never regretted using her nan's ring.

I thought it was more of a bracelet myself.
