If you use your hands to do much more than type or write (do you work with children? Do you repair anything? Do you work in a lab?), you might want to consider platinum or titanium, which are stronger and more scratch-resistant. As a librarian, I spend my days with paper, and when I found out that higher grades of gold can be damaged by the acids in paper (especially in older books, which my library has a lot of), I opted for pt instead of white gold.
So true, KappaStarGirl. As a soon to be Nurse-and even now during work and clinicals-I'm constantly pulling on rubber gloves. I had to take into account diamond size b/c the gloves can tear sometimes, and there are just somethings I don't want to get fron my patients.
