Over 6 milligrams of gold are lost every year from a Wedding Ring just by wearing it.
A gold wedding ring is as much a symbol of the importance of the institution of marriage for two lovers as it is a symbol for the permanence of their marriage. However, what has proven to be less durable is the wedding ring itself: as the Austrian scientist Georg Steinhauser of the Vienna University of Technology found out, a gold wedding ring loses about 6 milligrams in weight every single year.
