Adrian Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 *wonders* Damn, whenever I'm not looking for hematite I see it everywhere...and now that I want it, I can't find it. Oh, well...one day! Well it doesn't have to be hematite, I'm sure there are black rings somewhere near you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silly Green Monkey Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Fire Mountain Gems has agate rings, a couple of them are black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Fire Mountain Gems has agate rings, a couple of them are black. I already own a hematite one (I'm wearing it right now), but I'll look into that. Also, the Outlet Mall has a import shop that sells them, they're fairly inexpensive too.

Incognito Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 black ring on the right middle finger sounds good to me. I can show off whilst flipping people off! *pictures* "You @%^^ @#!!!" "Hey! You're asexual!" *pictures people flipping off one another then laughing and shaking hands delightedly* *laughs ass off* Cate What a marvelous idea. Haha. "Hey, how's it going?!" *flips finger* "Ah, haha, hey, how are you sir?!" *hands shaking* Strangers onlooking: "I tell you this town is getting weirder and weirder." 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goonie Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Interesting idea.Some of us don't like wearing rings though....... I don't wear rings. If I did it would look a tad um interesting. That doesn't meant hat others can't wear them though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Evil Cashew Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Heh yeah... rings are really a no go for me.. i have fat fingers.. also.. one day rings fit.. the next day thety don't... sigh ~Cashew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shockwave Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I also wear a chain around my left wrist. I couldn't find one like it at any store so I just that I made it from a dog collar I bought at a dollar store. Here are two pics: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fiefie Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I like the idea of the black rings. Or what about a necklace with a small plate saying "Aven"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hexpiral Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 No rings for me either. I just don't like having stuff in my hands, they're just too impractical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Omnes et Nihil Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Heh yeah... rings are really a no go for me.. i have fat fingers..also.. one day rings fit.. the next day thety don't... sigh ~Cashew I really don't have the fingers for rings either. Sausage fingers they tell me. (Although less so now it seems.) But I still think the black ring thing is a good idea. As long as it doesn't get mistaken for an iron ring... asexual/engineers same thing really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sloppycoder Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 awesome, black ring right middle finger it is then :P Slop *Edit* I did a quick google on black ring on right middle finger and it throws up a few results but nothing suggesting a particular reason for wearing one, and there is no commen thread between the results in terms of the kind of people who seem to be wearing them, so i think its not been "taken" on a large scale by any particular group.... probably some satanists somewhere but basically..........f**k em........ hehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Day Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 The only jewellery I like to wear on occasion is my heavy gold signet ring with the family coat of arms. I can't stand to wear anything else except perhaps for a tattoo with a Capital A on my arm or something similiar. Jewellery is such a nuisance, it constricts blood flow(bracelets/watches), reduces manual dexterity(rings) etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dargon Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'm gone for a weekend and everyone has my thoughts for me almost. I once had the thought of wearing a black wedding band, but all the onces I found were too much. I thought about hematite, but thought it was too shiny. But since everyone seems to have agreed, I might have to go out and find a hematite ring now. I usually don't wear jewelry, but I can get used to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chozo Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Loki, if your watch is constricting your blood flow you've got it on too tight :shock: The general rule I always go by is, you should be able to get two fingers under the strap without it constricting. Although I kind of agree, I don't wear any jewellery (I don't really consider my watch to be jewellery but I wear one all the time), I'd be willing to make an exception for something that was actually meaningful rather than just an expression of wealth, or mindless decoration, which is what it mostly seems to be for.

Amcan Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 For those of us who can't/don't like to wear rings/jewellery/wristbands we could just wear a sticker with a pic of on it. Then we'd be sure to recognise AVENites Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eddy Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 :idea: It's not the most practical way, but what about those dog tag things you can get engraved. I'm not sure what the price range is but it probably isn't that expensive. You could get the triangle engraved on it and wear it around your neck, for those people who don't like rings, wristbands, etc... Visibility might be a problem and you probably wouldn't be able to wear it all the time but what do you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deladangerous Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 For those of us who already wear 35 items of jewelry... one little AVEN-related item isn't going to make much of a difference. :? Buuuuut if anyone wanted an AVEN bracelet, ring or necklace... I make jewelry, and could take requests. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryoko Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I see a couple issues with the black ring idea. One, hematite is friggin' fragile! I don't think it's a practical material for every-day wear. Two, when you see someone with a black ring, you just can't know why they're earing it, because it's not unique enough. How about, and this is just an idea but I want to throw it out there anyway, wearing a hexagonal nut as a ring? Yeah, a nut as in the type that goes on a bolt, the type you find in any ole hardware store. They're steel (durable), and available in many sizes. (And no, the threads don't cut into your finger. I used to wear one many moons ago and it was comfortable.) Hell, the hexagon might be a better choice for us over a triangle anyway. Like Adrian pointed out, traingles are associated with homosexuals. And, there are many types of asexuals, and the 6 sides can represent the levels (or degrees) of asexuality. Being somewhat reminiscent of a stop sign ain't a bad thing, either... With either choice, if you're not into wearing rings, you could wear it on a chain around your neck. The chain thing also gives you the option to be more covert. Whaddaya think? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Being somewhat reminiscent of a stop sign ain't a bad thing, either... LMAO! I think that's a good idea, I must say. It also looks kinda tough so if some person decides they're going to 'change your mind' about being asexual you have something of a weapon right there on your hand.

LonePiper Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I reckon we should just go around and not have sex with as many people as possible. I mean, what better way to show your asexuality? Seriously though, I like the ring idea. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheSMMG Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 What about a small metal badge? I have one of these depicting the Rainbow Freedom Flag of the LGBT community - how about something along those lines? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Day Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I just had a great (but probably unworkable) idea! A while ago it was mentioned in the media that a company was producing a gadget which would beep/activate if another gay person with the same kind of gadget was within 10(?) metres of the device.It would be highly amusing to have this for asexuals instead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hexpiral Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Ryoko: I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the hexagonal nut idea! I mean, it's hexagonal (a beautiful shape that can be made into a grid) and there's a spiral in the inner side (which I interpret as a representation of dialectics). I'm adopting the nut as the official Hexpiral symbol, regardless of asexuality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I spend many hours in trains and bars randomly sending bluetooth notes to people with junk like "HAPPY FRIDAY" or "YOUR LABEL IS STICKING OUT" and other juvenile crap :) I might have a few hex nuts left lying around somewhere.. they're a bit bulky to be going on the finder, but they might work on a chain maybe. What we really need is someone to make a hexagonal nut into a proper ring, because the actual nuts that have a screw thread big enough to fit on your finger are always the really huge chunky ones that I wouldn't want on my finger anyway. I'd prefer something thin that doesn't cause too much bother. How hard would it be to make a hexagonal-nut style ring that wasn't any more bulky than a regular ring?
