Tungsten ring quality? - Page 4

I hate the look of gold. No fucking way I'd wear a gold ring. I like mine.

Sixxxx...took me a couple weeks to get used to the ring. Now it feels weird if I take it off.

They can't be sized and they really cant be cut off.

just waiting to see one we need to cut off in the ER, we will have to call ESU for that one since they have the hardcore cutting tools.

Our ring cutter isnt much more than a cheap glorified dremmel and not even a good one.

You're right, they can't be resized. However, I can exchange mine for a brand new ring any time, for $35. It kind of makes me wonder what they do with the one I returned.

They also can't do 1/4 sizes, like they can do with gold (they just stretch the gold). If 8 1/2 is too small and 9 is too big, forget it.

Got Vice Grips?
Apparently, you just crimp the ring a few times and it cracks into small pieces.

My tungsten wedding ring is $45 on ebay. You really don't need to resize it when you can just buy another size for that price. I have summer and winter rings, due to seasonal "finger bloat".

Mine was more than a gold band (nearly $500). I don't know if there's a quality difference. Mine is made by a company called Triton. I bought it at a local jeweler. Here is Triton's website: http://www.titanium-jewelry.com/triton.html

I wore my ring for 2 weeks then it came off, been off ever since.

I'm always scared of rings getting crushed on my finger, seen it happen a few times, those same people cant count past 9 any more.
