I found some manly and/or nerdy wedding bands for dudes

[FSUTribe76]

I was looking into wedding bands as I've decided I didnt like the original I picked up (simple titanium) and my wife came across this guy. He makes dude wedding bands from some interesting materials you don't normally see like iron meteorites, dinosaur bone, deer antlers, various woods, jade and more and several that have multiple inlays. I may or may not get one but thought I'd share in case anyone else wants a replacement for lost or "lost" rings. I definitely did not want some soft metal like gold, platinum or palladium as my hobbies tend to be dangerous for soft metals (woodworking, gold and silversmithing, coral reef keeping (lots of dremeling through stony corals), etc... And the plain titanium and other hard metals are just boring by themselves.

Wedding ring selection should take no more than 5-10 minutes with most important factor being something easy to replace if "lost".

Any more time/effort should not be considered manly, IMO.

We need to start a list of LR manly rules.
No fancy rings
No coupes
Big trucks
No revolvers
No shorts
No jerseys

Normally I'd agree with you as my first wedding and was a simple titanium ring. But the nerd in me is drawn to wearing a meteorite and/or dinosaur bone ring and my inner caveman wants some deer parts.

This. My original is at the bottom of a lakebed. The replacement I bought the next night, it took a lot longer to drive to the store than it did to pick out & pay for the ring.

Maybe we could consider it "manly" to figure out how to not lose your wedding ring?**



**I say this after just finding mine, after having misplaced it for the last three months.

I lost mine in a manly way - playing drunk volleyball on a sandbar with a big group of friends that included my wife & a bunch of other chicks in bikinis. I reached to make a play on a spike, the ball bent my fingers back; when they flicked forward I watched the ring fly off my finger (we'd been in the water most of the day, so my hands had the shriveled prune look). I saw exactly where it landed in the water, near the end of the sandbar, in a spot where the water was about waist deep. We looked, but due to all the drunks churning everything up, there was no visibility.

A few years back the water was very low & the sandbar had become an island. One of my friends who lives on the lake went out with a metal detector but had no luck finding it, so maybe my original was plastic. We were rather poor when we got hitched.

It's funny, but I had mine made by this guy. I got the titanium and petrified wood. The wife and I did a cross country national/state park hiking tour. Stopped in the petrified forest national monument. It was a good link to our relationship. The meteorite would be harder, but the petrified wood is a little soft. It was reasonably priced though. Well under what I spent on hers, by LOTS. I also don't wear mine often. Working on boats and in the engine room I fear losing the ring or the attached finger. He is very good and willing to work with you in a design and any thing unique you wanted to add.

Where the hell did this come from? It's so old I don't even vaguely remember it being originally posted, even though I have a couple of posts in it?

My wife's younger brother was the first I remember seeing with a Titanium band. I don't recall seeing anything other than gold when I got mine many years ago. I was never a jewelry guy and did not spend a lot of time looking for a ring.

Is this a zombie thread? It died 8 months ago.

Alcohol's a helluva drug.

It's funny - I didn't recognize that it was an old thread until I saw that I had posted in it - that was a surprise!
