My mother passed away 26 years ago. After her funeral, I gave her diamond engagement ring to my daughter, "Emma." Since then Emma has had two husbands and two more diamond rings, plus several others with various gemstones to match outfits. As far as I know, she has never worn my mother's ring.
I would like to spend my last years honoring my mother by wearing her ring. I am now 82. It would, of course, be returned to Emma when I die. Would it be all right to ask for that privilege?

Its something that belonged to your mother and I think your daughter would understand that you would want that as a way of remembering her in your last years. If she hasn't worn it then i don't ser that there would be a big issue. If she knows how you feel about the ring then there should be no issue [ ashmoe2's advice column | Ask ashmoe2 A Question ]

How you would like to honor your mother by wearing the ring for a while. I am sure Emma would be happy to allow you that. Let her know the ring will be returned to her.
