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.

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.
