thanks all!

a new term i learned here in jamaica: Rastatutes.

it's what they call people who say they are rastafarians but are just pot smoking nice people.

either tungsten or titanium, i have heard could result in a finger being amputated- If there's swelling from an accident or injury of some sort, you could lose that ring finger. most emergency rooms don't have equipment to cut off these very hard metals..

This is not true anymore. All that is required is a diamond blade, and most er's carry these now. Most jewelry stores carry them too.

I do not like gold things. They look cheesy.

Salut, white gold, et.al.!

The thing about a titanium ring (for me at least) is that if you accidentally hit it with a hammer, door, amp or whatever and it bends out of shape while still on your finger, you're basically fucked until you can find somebody who can cut it off.

Ouch.

Tungsten would shatter in similar circumstances, which is a little weird, but less dangerous.

My cousin was married at GenCon, the annual gaming convention. This picture is from the wedding DVD, entitled "My Big Fat Geek Wedding."

If you can't tell from this picture, the "stones" set in those rings are actually 20-sided dice.

ETA: Hers, close up:

It makes me happy that two people who would want 20 sided dice on their wedding rings found each other.

And then put 20 sided dice on their wedding rings.

Amen.

I think it's pretty badass. No closet-geek-omg-I'm-ashamed-I-play-D&D shit.

Moving on (or trying to)...

I like the platinum. It's not too expensive, either, if you don't trick it out at all.

white gold! i think yellow looks too greasy

My wife and I both are indifferent to jewelery... So our friend who is a folk artist made us two humble silver rings. I even have a bigger backup one for when I get fatter.

Our jeweler friend's husband married us. So it all had meaning... a circular connection.
