Soooo I'm tying the knot next year and the (soon to be) missus wants to go shopping for wedding rings.
She already knows what she wants but I'm on the fence about what I want.
I'm thinking just a straight up gold band. nothing fancy. Anyone have any cool ideas? I'm going to wearing this thing for the next 50 years...
Free [bacon] if I go with your idea.
I think I'd be tempted to go with a titanium and carbon fiber unit. ;D
(http://www.furthers.com/jewelry/interlagos.jpg)
Or if you prefer a wider band...

Titanium...cheap, doesn't wear out, and looks cool. ;D

Those are pretty cool. [thumbsup]
My wedding ring is titanium! [thumbsup]
$100 for a simple squared off band.
You just have to buy the right size and not plan on getting fat fingers because they are hard to get resized.
The CF looks ghey, by the way.

I've heard Ti can be an issue if you smash it onto your finger because ERs don't have anything to cut it.
I don't mind the CF but I could see me getting tired of it.
Ti sounds like a good idea but... I am the kind of person who could very likely smash his fingers. :P
What about Tungsten Carbide?

Yes. Facts. They are marvelous things.

-Q: Are titanium rings easy to cut in case of emergency ?
A : Yes, they are. Even stronger titanium alloys can be cut without difficulty. We have performed some tests on a 6Al/4V ring with a basic (manual) ring cutter, and went through it in under 2 minutes. The hospital and paramedic issued ring cutters are usually electric, reducing the cutting time consequently.

What no one else already had $5 and an envelope handy? and I was all set to send it.
You could do the tail chop and just make part of the frame you cut off your ring. Cheap as they come, and you don't even have to wait for Ducati branded wedding rings.
My metals professor in college made square rings for him and his wife for their nuptials. I always thought it was just an iconoclastic thing until I asked, and he had me look at the shape of my finger (look "down the barrel" at your ring finger) - it is more square than round. I tried it on, and it was pretty comfortable. The ring that is. Not the temporarily feeling like my professor's life partner. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
So, square FTW.

Okay, another source:
How difficult is it to cut a ring off the finger?
Due to titanium's light weight, most jewelry made in this material, including rings, and continuous, closed jewelry products are thicker than their counterparts in gold and platinum. Cutting a titanium ring can be preformed with standard jewelry ring cutters, available throughout the industry. As in any cutting process, the quality and sharpness of cutting edge will determine the length of time required. Since titanium is thicker, stronger and harder than conventional materials, the cutting process will take a bit longer and often requires a second cut on the opposite side. It is also important to use lubricant while cutting, as this will speed up the process and prolong the cutter life We have tested a variety of standard ring cutters on rings 6 and 7 mm wide, and 2 ½ mm (.097") thick. The time required was between 5 and 7 minutes per cut, about twice the time it took to cut a 6mm 14k band under 2mm in thickness. We ran tests on aerospace grade 6-4 using the same process. The results were far different. After 5 minutes we barely penetrated the surface and the cutter edge showed significant wear.
Ti is strong. Not cut-proof. Especially the cheap grade you get in a $100 ring. I bet you could cut one if you have to.

I've worked in several hospitals. You'd be surprised how many times they have to cut rings off. Not in the ER due to a mashed finger..I've seen it happen a few times though.. but for a surgery, MRI, CT, etc. :-\ The old folks just never took off their rings and their knuckles/fingers got fat.
a) make sure you get a piece of finger bling that you will be happy with in 50 years
b) if you work with your hands, around fast moving machines, consider if you want to wear a ring at all. i remember some very gruesome pics from my EMT classes, showing evulsed fingers..........yuck. i dont care if it is only a few per year. one of em might me yours

+1 Most of the guys I worked with back when I made furniture never wore their rings in the shop (regardless of the metal [roll] ). I take mine off when I'm working on the house, even if I'm just hammering nails.

Thats a nice ring, I'm in the same boat, looking around now, getting hitched in october. Any retailers carry that? I could do online but it be nice to try it on...
go to any jeweler and get sized..... then order it from Nick [thumbsup]
it is square...so it wears a lil differently than the traditional round ring.

it took a lil getting used to. Had I tried one on, my first response would have been...naaaaa, and not got it. But now that I have it, I like the fact that it's a lil different from the traditional style.
well considering I have trouble even wearing a watch, i think I need my ring to be as unobtrusive as possible. damn.

I can't go without my watch but, when I'm wearing a ring, it takes me a looooooooong time to get used to it. :-\

really?
what do you mean break them?
easiest way is with a pair of vice grips
just keep adding pressure
not easiest way is with the hurst tool...not recomended but it will work
both ways injure the patient
but it is an option if it has to be
not reading through all of this, so who knows if it has been said.
But PM motogpfan or go to his website www.coastalducaticlub.org

I've heard Ti can be an issue if you smash it onto your finger because ERs don't have anything to cut it.
Not true.

I don't quite know how you are combining anal and whiskey, but I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
