I have a simple White Gold band from Jared's - I think it was 39.99. I initially didn't think i could stand to wear it but my wife put it on at the alter, and I have never taken it off.

Lost the gold one, got a new Titanium one, cheap and nice, plus I work with Titanium all day long. But when I worked in Hi voltage, I tried that excuse, didnt fly, and I frequently worked on 160KV.

Yep. I don't even notice mine any more. And if you are working with electronics just put a piece of electrial tape over your wedding band. Works every time.

My simple solution
I bought a cheapie $50 ring when we got married. I can't wear it at work, so it spends 360 days a year in the jewelry box at home. House got broken in to last year and it got stolen.
Here's the replacement:
plastic.
Price can't be beat, it was free. Home depot has them in a big box by the paint swatches. They say they are actually for putting multiple paint swatches on so you can keep them organized but I know better. Now I don't have to take it off for work, or any other time for that matter. Durable little thing. I've had this one on since July and it hasn't broke or fallen apart yet. And the best part is, if it does come up missing, there's an identical replacement at the nearest home depot for that same low price of free.
Might clash with a rolex, though.

+1, I should have known I'd get more input on wearing/not wearing a ring than advice on buying a ring. I would have left that part out but does make for good conversation none the less.
+1, and I do as well or I wouldn't be marrying her. IMHO weddings are silly, but she doesn't think that way so to satisfy her; we are getting married. If you never said "I do", would you love your wife less? On 5/23 I love her as much as I did on 5/21- saying "I do" on 5/22 doesn't change any of that for me.
Mini-jack- I'll be 38 when I get married and prior to her had never dated a girl over 12 months (by my choice for you funny guys- LOL!). 3 months after us meeting, she sold her house and moved in with me. 3 months after that I sold my house and we moved in a RV- if any thing can try a relationship, try living in 350SF after dating for only 6 months, and doing it for 2 years! If you come out alive, 4 years later you get married. Just saying when we met, we knew where we were going to end up married (or killing each other I guess- LOL). So anyway- I'm "all in" and yes, a ring is a symbol of that but I don't like wearing jewelry, plus work in an environment where it is unsafe.
As far as work- my hands are in too many places way too often to deal with taking a ring on/off all the time. DC voltages (what phone company uses) are more dangerous than AC voltages but either way, metal is a conductor and shorting any of them together can get ugly real quick. Phone company circuit packs are expensive and they don't take kindly to them being messed up; not a microscope I want to be under if if the actual power requirements aren't dangerous to me physically.
Ok- so a few votes for titanium, which I like as well.
Gold- I'm tan and kind of already nixed yellow gold off the list but now that I pay attention to mens rings (vs in my single days just looking at the womens rings); I've noticed a majority of yellow gold rings out there. Kind of leery going "other than yellow gold" since that was kind of like the traditional, but feeling better about it now that it seems other materials are more mainstream.
White Gold- Seafordguy (or others)- Any issues having to get it re-coated or issues with softness/bending?
Tungsten carbide- going to look more in to this one. Buddy of mine had one of these I think that I liked a lot, he was only married for 7 months so don't really want to ask what it was made of.
Leading cause of divorce is marriage!
Cool ring off roading- I'm going to look more in to those as well.
Thanks guys (and Julie of course!)

Was told by our jeweler if your finger is swollen a titanium ring is difficult to cut in an emergency

same with tungsten carbide. I was told not to smash it because they can not cut the ring off.

Much easier to cut off the finger.:iamwithstupid:
I figure if anything heavy enough to smash the ring falls on my hand it will take the finger off anyway so what the hell:smash:
