Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

I was going to ask this to the actual board, and then I thought it might be too yellow-pages like. So I wanted to see if someone on here could help me out. When I was engaged (years ago, I know) there were a few people that advertised on the Wilk Board selling men's titanium wedding bands for $75 or so. My husband loved his . . . until he lost it a few months ago. I would like to get him another one, but was hoping one of you would have the time on campus to check and see if there are still people like this on the Wilk Board for me? I guess I could drive down 20 minutes to check a wall of index cards myself, but . . .

Okay, I'll admit laziness. But if any of you have spare time in the Wilk, could you be my hero and check for me? I would rather not have to go to an actual jewelery store and get ripped off. And I would like my husband to appear married .

Yes... You wouldn't want all the gay men hitting on him...

For my wedding ring I'd want a titanium band too... Simple, durable, and awesome. Something I never have to take off... (like my CTR ring)

It really was a good ring, especially since it had the "comfort fit" rounding on the inside. And I would like to think my husband would be attractive to women, not just gay guys . . .

I like the rings on this site, and they have some fairly inexpensive ones.

Also, some info from the Wilk board:

Just a tip, titanium rings can be dangerous. My family is full of people who like to work with their hands, and in situations like this, you will always be told to be sure that you remove all jewlry from your hands (which is one of the main reasons I don't wear any rings, or even a watch.) There is too great of a chance that they can get caught on something and rip a finger off. This is a problem with all kinds of rings, silver, gold, titanium, whatever. But titanium rings are more dangerous for a couple reasons.

First is that most other jewelry metals, such as silver and gold are very malleable, so they are more likely to bend and break when they get caught. Titanium is no like this. Your finger will break (or get ripped off) long before most titanium rings will break.

However, there are titanium rings that are designed to break more easily. I would recommend looking into these if you want a titanium ring, especially if you like to do things with your hands, especially woodworking or metalworking.

Indeed, Fred, that is how he lost the ring. He took it off every time he worked on house projects, and then forgot where he left it the last time. That was 7 months ago, so we figure it is truly lost by now. Titanium is stronger that most metals, and we debated on the dangers when we first got it, but the strength is also nice becuase it didn't dent or scratch as easily. Still looked brand new the day it was lost.

And thanks, Portia! I laughed when I saw that so many years later, there is still what sounds like an identical card on the Wilk board, which gets cleaned off weekly. Awesomeness. Hooray for using the 100 Hour Board Board to read the Wilk Board!

Yes, but in such situations... loss of finger is almost guaranteed whether the metal is malleable or not.

At least with Titanium you can recover the ring even if you do lose the finger!
