I'm awake because my head is full of snot.

Oh, and today we went shopping for rings. I like titanium, because I'm a geek, mostly, but also because my fingers are freaky weird and I dont want to give them any excuse to get weirder.


Metropolis?


Electric slide?


Black titanium?


Gallagher?


Abyss Replica? (OMG how geekycool)

Ok time to sleep now.

A thought on Rings.

[pink-halen.livejournal.com]

If you plan to wear your ring 24 hours a day, give some thought to how much gunk it might retain. Given that you work on cars alot, you might pick one that doesn't have a lot of deep groves where grease could hide.

good thinking! Thanks!

My ex and I had big cigar band sized Titanium rings, and they're nice and light, but they scratch easily, and in a couple of months they don't look that great. When we broke up I thought that was a good metaphor.

Now I just have a big Tungsten ring, which is mirror bright, and hasn't developed a scratch in two years. It is heavy, but I think it's a much better symbol for fidelity.

http://www.tungstenworld.com/All-Tungsten-Rings/ says:"Our large selection of gorgeous tungsten carbide wedding bands is sure to instill commitment and integrity into your marriage."

Sounds magical. Still, I like the look of their rings, and have always liked Tungsten Carbide. Mainly on power tools, of course.

Metropolis upside down looks like something drippy....

And while gold isn't exactly a hard metal - it's something jewelers have been working with for centuries and any scratches or nicks could be polished out or repaired. I have no idea if titanium jewelry is repairable, especially if it's anodized.

It's easily repolished, but they make a big deal of the patina it accumulates. Which suggests that it's easily damaged.

I'm liking the tungsten carbide suggestion...

If you do go with the tungsten carbide, just remember that once the ring is sized and made, it can't be adjusted. If you go up/down a ring size, you have to buy a whole new ring. On the plus side, they are very sturdy rings and do not scratch very easily. I get compliments on mine all the time (it's very similar to the Abyss Replica you pictured).

The online stores I'm looking at all have lifetime replacement policies- but, thinking about it now, I guess that means the lifetime of the online store.
