Question

I am such a little thing

That people ignore me

Until the day destruction comes,

And they wince painfully.

Women measure wealth by me,

Men, too, if they are wise;

After all, when I’m not there,

I topple royal ties.

I can't tell if this is easy or not; after all, I know the answer. Anyhow, have fun with it!

neck would fit if it is not there, ties can't fit royal or not. Bound to fall off. And among a certain sort i suppose you could measure wealth by the adornments of the neck. Still neck doesn't seem little enough.

crown? tooth crown? ties the tooth together, called a crown, is that close enough to royal ties? I still like heels better as an answer, though.

health? "Healthy, Wealthy & Wise" and all that.. Although I really liked D's answer with home/house/castle..makes a lot of sense.

Trying for a resurrection here.. sometimes great riddles just get forgotten about...

Why thank you for the kind words, Vixen! Here's another guess...

Marriage (oohhh, just realized, someone may have tried that already. If that is the case, I deeply apologize. I did read the whole thread, but my short term memory is shot from my stroke. Please forgive!!!)
