My sister in law gave my wife a gorgeous crucifix for her birthday last year. My wife was ill, and we all thought she might not make it. She did, but aside from that, when she opened it my brother who hasn't been in a Ward building in 30 years pops off with "Geez, Mormons don't wear crosses!" My sister in law was embarrassed. My wife looked uncomfortable.
She has never worn it, which I think is a shame because 1) it was a gift during a time when she was ill, and 2) it is beautiful.
Maybe I'll start wearing it. Although as fat as my neck has become it might be a bracelette.
