Tungsten Bands...

Any one have one or know of them? Are they good quality? Are they durable? I was thinking about getting matching bands for our anniversary but he cant really wear gold because he works with his hands and I dont want it to get dented and stainless steel poses some risks in case they cant get it off...I want to go relatively moderate in price....any comments?

I think there are different levels of quality.  They are very durable in that they don''t scratch.  And I would really say depending on what type of work he does NOT to buy Tungsten.  They can''t be cut off...they have to be broken off (as they are brittle) and I am not sure that medical personnel would be used to them yet. 

BTW, just curious...(pardon me if it''s none of my business), but isn''t this a relatively new relationship?  Or has time gone by so quickly that you are already at an anniversary? 

thanks for the info....he does restoration (of fire damage and water damage) so he''s working manually.

We are at an anniversary....time has flown by it seems...things are good. Most people just remember me from my ex...he is now engaged and I have moved on to a healthier and more meaning full relationship. I am so much more at peace with myself and much more centered and happy.

We are not rushing into getting engaged or married but we know we are committed to eachother and for now thats what makes us happy.

TG..did you ever set a date or did I miss something already...I dont hang around here as much as I used too...

Alexis, I couldn''t reply to your bling show in DC but I do want you to know I really enjoyed those pictures!!!!  Thanks for sharing.

Oh, well, as long as there isn''t too much of a chance he could sprain a finger or something.  TGuy works with his hands too, but it''s nothing dangerous.

And a date for what?  A wedding?  I got married last year in October...almost a year ago.  We''re coming up on our one year anniversary!

Glad to hear you are doing well.  I can recommend www.tungstenpride.com. 

skippy..not a problem...just goes to show that I have a serious problem....I think I spent more time in there than any where else on my vacation...LOL

At least here, people get me in this world....

I think I was thinking of someone else....I get confused here a little...to many people...so many stories....so much bling....so little time....

What do you do for a living again? I know you travel alot but I guess I never really asked either....

thanks for the link...

I''m in sales in the technology arena.  And yeah...I get confused on PS as well...especially when people change their avatars!  Hard to keep everyone straight sometimes.

Deco, I think that young marine guy was a phase.  I believe this is a new guy.

I went there but I didn't see all that bling; maybe it was a crazy day when I went.  I think there were a bunch of school field trips going on when I was there.  I think that is wonderful you guys are committed to each other.  Enjoy your anniversary if it is years or months (it doesn't matter)!!!

THe marine guy was a....a case of mistaken affection...sorta....

This guy is a different onebut we have been together 8 months...but the ring is for a personal anniversary not for our "dating" anniversary...if that makes sense... the rings are more symbolic than they are to represent an anniversary. They are merely a reason to get him something nice and to remember something personal.

btw...totally hate it when people change their avatars....I get confused just the same...

Hey, any reason is a good one to buy jewelry.

Congratulations on your 8 month anniversary.  Hope it works out for you.

Gotcha. Glad to hear you''re happy & doing well. I think this rings thing struck a chord with me because I''m remembering how after the fact with Hazmatt, you kinda regretted having gone 1/2sies on yr. promise ring ... yet, here you are again purchasing a ring SET ... matching rings ... It''s totally your choice & you''re not really asking for advice on that I guess but are you sure you''re not getting ahead of yourself?

Absolutely!! Its working out great. No complaints here.

We have known eachother for a long time (before haz-matt) and it sorta came out in the open one day....kinda one of those light bulb moments....kinda like....''duh!'' we have been in eachothers lives for a long time just never had the opportunity to grow to love eachother or look at eachother in a different light.
