yall know you don't need to buy these things right?

Go find a funny rock or two somewhere on a stream, it's as good as any ring, except you can't wear it on your finger, which is probably good anyway.

Even if you want a ring, we got wooden rings. Cost like $100 for some really nice ones with fire opal inlay from an online craftsman. I've already cracked mine a little by being a dumbass with heavy car parts so I'm just ordering another. It's cheap, and on top of that if I had dropped a brake rotor onto a gold or metal ring it might have gotten flattened and trapped on my finger. The wood just cracked a little and flexed right back into its original shape.

If I had a lathe and some motivation I could even make my own, but I'm happy paying the relatively modest price of a single Benjamin for a well crafted ring with inlay.

I got a tungsten and wood ring that has went through hell and still looks great

yeah, there are always some interesting ideas, even something like a solid stainless steel ring would arguably be pretty interesting. A little boring, but interesting nonetheless.

this is certainly one of the options.

I got my husband an engagement watch. It's an analog watch with a 24 hour dial, and it was very hard to find. He was delighted (especially since the ring he was getting made for me was delayed by about 4 months because of Covid)

that's cool, i'm a fan of analog watches in the mechanical sense, mechanical contraptions are one of the most fascinating human developments of all time.

Doubles as a neat collectors piece, and gift as well!
