May I know where you got this from ? I want to copy you and get it too lol I hope you don't mind !! On the contrary, I'm quite flattered I got mine on etsy from this seller: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1391088334 I just asked the seller if they could do a custom length and attach two lobster clasps, one on each end, and he was very amenable! I expect if you wanted though, especially if your ID tag doesn't need flipping over to get more information, that you could just get the bracelet fitted to your wrist, and attach the tag on top of the rings. I used to have a band strap that worked that way. Link to post Share on other sites

I have to spot paint mine with nail polish every once in a while but other than that it's been pretty durable. Oh I would manage. I would accidentally melt it or something.

Verb Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I used to wear my black ring everywhere, but I stopped after a year or so. It was never really noticed, nor did I notice anyone else wearing one. My problem was that the ring I had didn't really look good when I wore it. I saw an old picture of myself the other day where I had the ring on, and it just seemed so...incongruous. Maybe if I could source another of a more aesthetically-inclined design...but I get by just fine without, personally. Link to post Share on other sites

WWIFlyingAce Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Sooo... I have no self-control, and I love swag. I switched my spinner ring to my left hand, and got a thin black gun-steel band with the word "ace" engraved in white. I'm joining the black band club, fellow cake-lovers!

StreetlightDawn Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 @arekathevampyre Right?! I checked around their Etsy and anything in my size was sold out. But! I did buy a thin black onyx ring today and hopefully I can follow up up with a purple agate one eventually. Link to post Share on other sites

Chibe90 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I got my ring on Amazon, have had it for around 3 months now. I don't even notice it half the time, the paint is starting to strip now but it is not noticeable yet. Link to post Share on other sites

nimbus Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I got this black ring and am happy with its minimal look and the contrast between the matte surface and glossy edges. It's the most durable metal – nothing scuffs it, and I've tried. There's no paint on the surface, just black metal to the core. So if you want a durable ring, tungsten carbide is awesome. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pure-Black-Tungsten-Carbide-Ring-Brushed-Finish-Band-Durable-Scratch-Free/332357858951 Link to post Share on other sites

nimbus Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just now, arekathevampyre said: I heard that this material is way stronger than titanium . Just wondering : is it true ? Yep. Tungsten carbide, plain tungsten, and titanium are all different things. Apparently, tungsten carbide can basically only be crafted with diamond tools, and it can break under very high impacts. It's used in tunnel boring machines for the drill tips! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten_carbide Link to post Share on other sites

Skycaptain Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 @Tintinfan, the black bands on Amazon are Tungsten Carbide and really are almost unbreakable. They'll survive any impact which wouldn't otherwise break your hand. Link to post Share on other sites

I have ever gotten rings stuck on my finger too and I used soap and water to get it off though it hurt a lot !! Yes, the necklace idea isn't bad at all! I don't often wear jewels but I will be fun to have a way of indentifying myself. It'll be interesting to see if anyone notices. Thank you, it hadn't occured to me I could wear a ring on a neckalce hehe... Link to post Share on other sites

arekathevampyre Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have a question : my titanium ring is too tight for my ring finger but a little loose for my pinky (it will not slip off except during shower which irritate and scares me - what if it breaks ?) Should I continue wearing it on my pinky or put it on a chain ? Currently wearing a necklace so it is inconvenient . And maybe a bracelet will work but how to go about doing it ? Ughh .... Frustration !!!! Link to post Share on other sites
