The scrap gold was from old rings, necklaces, etc. The KR gold wings were beautiful and my intention was to wear them at the gatherings and air shows. However, I felt rather odd when I wore them. Maybe because I felt it was a bit too elaborate since I do not wear jewelry.. Anyway, they had been sitting in the jewelry box for a while and not being used. Our 20th wedding anniversary came along and I decided to make my wife make a custom ring so I donated the KR gold wings to make her a custom 20th anniversary present.
