White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

People keep mementos IRL as well for the same reason. Like a wedding ring, or some kind of gift that was given to them by someone else.

You can't really compare a wedding ring, a physical object that is radically different from one person towards the next, towards a digital item that will look the same on everyone else who wears it.

My engagement ring looks nothing like any one else's and yes, one could argue that it's just a bunch of diamonds, so they all use the same material. But, at the same time, the value shouldn't be in the object itself, but who gave it to you. If you're placing much more stock in the item itself than the person on the other end? I think some self-reflection might be needed, lol. I wear this ring not because it's expensive or pretty looking, but I wear it because I want the world to know that my heart belongs to someone else and I'm proud and happy to be with them, nothing more than that.

Not to mention that one shouldn't think of their engagement or wedding ring as nothing more than a trophy or achievement piece as what is equated towards the White Raven Earrings, but to each their own, you know? I find the comparison just a little far-fetched and kind of silly, no offense. :P

One can also argue that you can be and feel married towards another without a physical object to reflect it. But, that's a whole other topic for another day.
