I agree God never condemed anyone for wearing one ring. I ring is not
excess adornment. I doubt Christ would condem a woman who wore 1 fancy
broach and wedding either, but these days there it is common to wear
jewlry that exceeds one ring in mass by thrity times. At some point
excess comes, and excess fuels pride.
maybe we should draw the line at one or two rings.
I believe in safety,
