My wife  has pointed out that at times she sees woman put their rings in 
their mouths  when they wash and then make a brocha before putting them on 
again.  Is  this not questionable regarding the saying of a brocha with 
something in one's  mouth.

I often see women putting their rings in their mouth to wash, but have  
never seen anyone say the bracha with a ring in her mouth -- although  there is 
this problem:  you're supposed to say the bracha before you dry  your 
hands, and most women would prefer to dry their hands before putting their  rings 
back on.  A lot of people dry their hands before making the bracha,  but 
that is not correct.  So where do you park your ring while you make the  
bracha, before you dry your hands?  I've never put my rings in my mouth,  
personally.  Leaving them near the sink does run a risk of losing  them.  The best 
thing is to take them off at the table and leave them  on your plate when 
you go to wash.
