I've been looking at rings too - you guys priced platinum? It's a lot more expensive both because it has a higher density (more weight for the same mass), and it's usually almost pure (as opposed to most gold jewelery which is usually an alloy 14-18K).

I've been thinking about putting Klingon or Vulcan around the band - haven't decided what the script will be though - Vulcan would have to be something logical like "it is inevitable that this union continue" while Klingon would be more like "til savage beheading in battle will part" - heheh.

My GF thinks I'm a dork (not that I've ever denied that).

Ehh... you don't remember THIS?

I do have to say that ring looks a bit better than, um, the pendants... no harm intended.

My husband and I have matching titanium rings. His is just the band, and mine has a tension set(floating) diamond. His first one was a little bit to big and slipped off while we were mountain boarding. Never to be found in the AZ desert!! I got mine because I wanted to save my original ring from very day wear. We love the rings, and get many compliments also.

I was trying to post pics, but cannot find the UPLOAD PHOTOS button. I racked my brain for hours and could find it, I know it is there because I've used it before.....any help would be appreciated.

Well, diamonds aren't more scarce than sapphires or rubies, so why are they more expensive?

Because DeBeers has a monopoly on the market and uses that position to manipulate supply and demand -- without DeBeers's games, diamonds would be literally as cheap as dirt today. Not to mention having one of the most successful ad campaigns in the history of the world -- "A diamond is forever" "A diamond is a girl's best friend" "6 months salary" all of those are pure marketing from DeBeers and thus pure manipulation of anyone who takes them seriously. In fact, until DeBeers got into the game, diamonds were no more associated with marriage than any other kind of stone.

Furthermore, almost all diamonds have a history of suffering. The "legit" diamonds from DeBeers were mined by miners with very little in the way of human rights protections and working conditions that are worse than most 3rd world sweat-shops. Then there are the infamous "blood diamonds" which in one way or another are linked to the constant warring and bloodshed in Africa.

There are a few sources of diamonds from mines in Canada that are neither controlled by DeBeers nor mined by people one step up from slavery. But, considering all the bad associated with diamonds and their terrible resale value (destined to hit about $0 if Debeers ever loses control of their monopoly position), why would you even want to associate yourself with such a thing?

Instead of a ring I gave my wife a big hug, a kiss and finally a beautiful son...she never complained not having a ring
And to keep me happy, she gave me a patek philipe....wear it every day, even to work, doesn't scratch, hard to lose and will be worth the same or more after 60 years...

I've heard that if you get in a emergency situation that that requires removal of all metal or access to the finger...that your finger MUST BE CUT OFF, because the titanium is too strong to cut off.
