Princess Zhanna has stopped routinely wearing her rings. They are a Hazard - and I cannot disagree. I paid Brian Gavin extra $$$ to have every small stone a super ideal cut stone for maximum brilliance (above and beyond normal even for him - the best of the best).

Recently Princess progressed to the point in her driving that she got her very own car... and is now driving on her own.
On her first two days she described driving situations where she got into trouble (that she should not have).
Then I noticed the other day that her rings were here in the house and not with her.
I asked Princess - and she explained that she realized that every time the sun is sparkling off of her rings she starts paying attention to the rings - and not driving. That all of her "close calls" driving were from when she was distracted by her rings; so she now leaves her rings at home except for special occasions.
We do no special cleaning (no steam cleaner, no special fluids). I think she uses ordinary soap when needed, or perhaps an alcohol pad. Yet they sparkle and sparkle and sparkle. Yes, they are a driving hazard. Perhaps someday she will grow out of that. On the other hand I am proud of her for recognizing and eliminating a driving hazard.
The unknown hazards of super ideal cut side stones...
Who would have guessed?
