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

But how well can a tungsten ring be crushed? We established they are hard to cut.

I'm not really worried about that. I take pictures for a living.

They cant be crushed...see Phoenix's earlier post. When being "cut" or if you manage to destroy it, it shatters. No crushing. If it shatters on your hand from something falling on it, your hand is going the way of the ring.

Yeah I didn't understand the whole crush deal. What are you gonna do...put a pair of vice gribs on the ring and when it crushes, destroy the dudes finger?

It's not a big deal. As stated, you put the grips on and adjust them by 1/3 of a turn until it cracks. That's only a few millimeters at a time, no danger.

AFAIK you can't cut off titanium either. So, if I'm in an emergency situation I'll just be the sweet dude on the block with 9 fingers.

From what I understand, its a pretty delicate process but it can be done.
Moral of story: If you're hands are swollen or you are doing something that may have adverse side effects and could make it necessary to cut it off, dont wear it. |
